Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 100 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 50 ml low-fat milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Add the whole wheat breadcrumbs to the bowl. Pour the low-fat milk over the breadcrumbs to moisten them slightly.
Step 3
Crack the egg into the meat mixture, add the chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Using clean hands, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Do not over-mix, as this can toughen the meat.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Place them on a plate and let them rest in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while cooking.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat the pan with olive oil spray.
Step 7
Fry the cutlets in the pan for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the pan and let them rest on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the meat cutlets hot with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
