Kotlety Mielone (Polish Beef Patties)

Method

1. 1

   Tear the bread roll into the milk and let it soak until soft.

2. 2

   Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and mash it into the ground beef with the egg, onion, garlic, marjoram, salt and pepper; mix just until combined.

   💡 Overmixing packs the meat tight and the patties turn springy instead of tender.

3. 3

   Wet your hands and shape the mixture into 8 oval patties about 1.5 cm thick.

4. 4

   Press each patty lightly through the breadcrumbs to coat both sides.

5. 5

   Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the patties 5 minutes per side until deeply browned and cooked through.

6. 6

   Rest 2 minutes before serving with mashed potato or buttered cabbage.
