Recipes for cutlets cannot be counted, no matter how they are cooked. Today we plan juicy minced meat cutlets, which we are going to stew on the stove in a pan after frying. Do you like gravy cutlets? So this is exactly the recipe In addition to the fact that with gravy (sauce), cutlets seem much more appetizing to many, this is also a reliable way to bring them to full readiness and not worry that they were not fried. This approach is especially relevant for minced beef cutlets or mixed with the addition of beef, which requires a longer heat treatment than pork. Of course, everyone knows how to fry minced meat cutlets. Just in case, we will repeat ourselves briefly. Our stewed cutlets will be soft and juicy, without the crispy crust characteristic of fried cutlets, but they will be saturated with the taste and aroma of the sauce in which they will be stewed. The sauce can be the simplest one (self-forming gravy on boiling water when stewing), or, for example, tomato, or tomato with sour cream - all this is very quick and simple, and at your choice. Cooking a large frying pan of stewed cutlets - 10 pcs. Even a spacious saucepan may be required

  • Training: 20 minutes
  • Preparation: 30 minutes
  • It turns out: 10 pieces

600 gr minced meat

3-4 slices of stale white bread or loaf

half a glass of milk or water to soak it

1 small onion

1-2 cloves of garlic (optional)

1 egg (optional)

salt, ground black pepper to taste

flour for breading cutlets

refined vegetable oil for frying

water or broth for gravy

In the gravy for stewing cutlets:

1 teaspoon flour

1 bay leaf

if desired, other spices to your taste

Or for tomato sauce:

1 teaspoon flour

1 bay leaf

1-2 tablespoons tomato puree

salt, sugar, pepper to taste

1 tablespoon sour cream (optional, optional)

1 This is all you need to make cutlets.

2 Cut the crusts off the loaf slices, break the pulp into pieces and soak in milk or water.

3 Peel the onion and garlic and chop finely with a knife. You can mince them along with the meat if you cook the minced meat yourself. For a brighter taste of cutlets, onions can be added to the minced meat not raw, but by pre-sauttering it until transparent with vegetable oil.

4 Lightly squeeze the soaked bread, knead or pass through a meat grinder and add to the minced meat. We also add salt and ground pepper to taste. You do not need to add the egg, but if you add it, then the minced meat will be more coherent, and the cutlets will hold their shape better when frying.

5 Combine all the minced meat ingredients.

6 And mix thoroughly.

7 We select a handful of uniform portions of minced meat for cutlets. To prevent the minced meat from sticking, we moisten our hands and work surface with water.

8 For coherence we knock out each portion of minced meat, tossing it with force from hand to hand, and roll it into koloboks. Then we bread in flour.

9 We do not recommend breading cutlets in breadcrumbs - the breadcrumbs crunch appetizingly on fried cutlets, and when stewing they will get soaked and, in some places, peeling off the surface of the cutlets, they will drift in the sauce. Flour, on the contrary, will add a pleasant thickness to the gravy. We usually add a little more flour to the sauce - we like the thicker gravy.

10 We shape the patties in a standard way - give them an oval-flattened shape. You can make them thicker for stewing than for frying.

11 The oil should already be warming up in a skillet over medium heat. Put the cutlets to fry one after the other as they are molded and fry until light brown, first on one side, then turn over and fry on the other.

12 Try not to burn the cutlets, adjust the heat. The burn in the pan creates unnecessary problems - the cutlets will have to be cleaned before stewing, transferred to another dish, and the fat from the pan should be filtered so as not to spoil the sauce. If everything is neat in the frying pan after frying the cutlets, then simmer the cutlets right in it. To make the gravy thick, at the end of frying the cutlets, add a little extra flour in the intervals between them, so that it is passaged in hot oil for a couple of minutes.

13 Then pour hot water, almost boiling water, into the pan from a kettle, so that its level reaches half the height of the cutlets. If instead of water you have meat broth, it will definitely not be worse. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the cutlets, reducing the heat to a minimum, for 15-20 minutes.

14 5-7 minutes before the end of stewing, taste the gravy, add salt, pepper and spices to taste so that they reveal the aroma optimally. If the gravy evaporates a lot and thickens too much, you can dilute it with broth or boiling water.

These are the stewed cutlets with gravy - juicy and soft, the taste is excellent. Cutlets are tolerant to any side dish that appetizingly absorbs gravy - mashed potatoes, crumbly porridge and boiled pasta.

If you are more tempted by cutlets in tomato sauce, we act in the same way, only pour the cutlets for stewing not with boiling water, but with tomato puree diluted with hot water to the consistency of tomato juice.

You can use the tomato juice itself, as well as homemade tomato juice - whatever you have. If you also add sour cream, then the sauce will turn out like for stuffed cabbage - very tasty, we also add a little sugar

You can add vegetables to the sauce for stewing cutlets - fresh or frozen bell peppers, tomato slices, chopped greens, spinach, green beans and other vegetables, for which there is enough time to stew cutlets in order to reach readiness.

Happy cooking and bon appetit!

Actually, it was about cutlets stewed in sauce, and cabbage rolls were mentioned only for an appetizing comparison.In fact, cutlets actively absorb sauce when stewing, but if you make more sauce, then it will definitely remain for gravy to cutlets

And I have such a question, should the sauce be absorbed into the cabbage rolls when stewing, or should the cabbage rolls with sauce be obtained?

By the way: at the end of the article I posted a step by step video on how to cook homemade cutlets. The recipe and cooking process is almost the same as described in the article. If you want - take a look.

The process of cooking stewed cutlets with gravy

1. Fill a glass of oatmeal with cold water and leave for a couple of hours to swell.

Note: for the preparation of cutlets it is better to take ordinary oatmeal "Hercules". Oatmeal that does not require boiling is not good for our purpose.

2. We pass meat, garlic and onions through a meat grinder. Add eggs, squeezed oatmeal and knead the minced meat for cutlets, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Before cooking the cutlets, it is advisable to let the minced meat stand for an hour, and then mix thoroughly again.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, sculpt cutlets about half the size of a palm, and fry them over medium heat on both sides until golden brown.
We spread the fried cutlets in a separate container.

4. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, cut the onion into thin half rings. Fry vegetables until half cooked in the oil remaining after frying the cutlets.

5. While onions and carrots are fried, prepare the filling:
We dilute the sour cream with water and, stirring constantly, add a little flour, as well as pepper, salt, parsley and dill - to taste.

6. We spread half of the fried vegetables from the pan, and put our cutlets there. Distribute the laid out vegetables evenly over the surface of the cutlets, pour out the prepared filling.

7. Close the pan with a lid and simmer over low heat until vegetables are fully cooked. 5-10 minutes before the end of the process, you can put a couple of bay leaves in the cutlets with gravy.

Garnish - to your taste. But I like boiled potatoes most of all for stewed cutlets with gravy.

Enjoy your meal!
