Cutlets are a universal dish that goes perfectly with any side dish.

The dish can be prepared quickly and easily.

But not every housewife can boast that she is able to serve juicy and tender cutlets for dinner. It happens that the treat turns out tough, and the appetite from such a dish only disappears.

It's all about the mistakes that many people make when preparing minced meat.

There is no need to add eggs to such meat dough, which are believed to only give shape and prevent the dish from falling apart in the frying pan. But in fact, they will only make the cutlets harder.

You can also add a little flour to the minced meat.
