Preparation
Step 1
How to make beef and pork cutlets in the oven? Prepare all the ingredients. It’s best to make the mince yourself. Choose the pork-to-beef ratio as you like. For spices, I used paprika, black pepper, khmeli-suneli, and nutmeg.
Step 2
Cut the crust off the loaf, slice or break the bread into pieces, and cover with water. Leave for 5 minutes, then drain and squeeze very well. If too much liquid remains, the mince will spread and you won’t be able to shape the cutlets. Mash the soaked bread by hand or with a fork into a smooth paste.
Step 3
Peel the onion, rinse it, and mince it through a meat grinder or grate it.
Step 4
For mixing, use a large deep bowl with a rounded bottom. Add the mince, bread, onion, salt, and spices. Wash the eggs with soap, dry with a towel or paper towel, and crack them into the bowl.
Step 5
Knead the mixture thoroughly. If it seems too dry and hard to mix, add a little cold boiled water and continue kneading. It should be soft and tender, but not watery.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). With hands moistened in warm water, form cutlets. I used about 100 g (3.5 oz) of mixture per cutlet. From this amount I got 16 cutlets. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and place the cutlets on it. You can place them almost close together, as they will shrink while baking.
Step 7
Bake in a preheated 200°C (392°F) oven for 30-35 minutes on the top/bottom heat setting until browned. Adjust time and temperature to your oven. As soon as the cutlets are nicely browned, remove them and take them off the baking sheet so they don’t dry out.
