Everyone knows the recipe for this simple and popular dish.

But not everyone can boast that the cutlets turn out delicious. Beginners in cooking may note that the dish falls apart during frying.

This usually happens if mistakes were made during the preparation process.

A lot depends on the minced meat.

A more “sticky” mass will be obtained if you mix several types. For example, you can add about 500 grams of pork to a kilogram of beef.

It's even better if you chop up some lard. In this case, the cutlets won't fall apart, but they'll also be more fluffy and juicy.

In addition, additional components are needed that will “glue” the workpiece together. We are talking about semolina, flour, breadcrumbs and bread.

The products for minced meat must be chilled.

This will help keep the cutlet intact when frying. In addition, you need to mix the preparation well, and also put it in the refrigerator for half an hour before frying.

Cutlets should be cooked in a preheated frying pan with oil. If the pan is cold, the meat product will start to stick, burn and fall apart.
