Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make cutlets with tomato sauce in the oven? Start by preparing the ingredients according to the list. You can make minced meat for cutlets from any meat and its combinations. I have ready-made store-bought minced pork and beef.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes. If you or your children do not like onions, you can omit them altogether.

3. STEP 3

   

   Soak a slice of bread in a small amount of water or milk.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a bowl, combine minced meat, onion, bread, egg, pressed garlic and sour cream. Sprinkle everything with spices.

5. STEP 5

   

   Knead the minced meat until smooth, and then beat it, throwing it into a bowl. This is necessary for the minced meat to compact. Let the minced meat sit for 10 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Form 6-7 large round cutlets from the minced meat and roll them on all sides in flour.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the cutlets in a baking dish greased with vegetable oil and place in an oven preheated to 180℃ for 20 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   While the cutlets are baking, make the gravy. You can replace tomato paste with tomato sauce, ketchup or fresh crushed tomatoes. You can replace the broth with water. You can use any spices to your taste.

9. STEP 9

   

   Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Wash the carrots, peel and grate on a coarse grater.

11. STEP 11

    

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and carrots. Fry, stirring, until soft. How to choose a frying pan and vegetable oil for frying, read articles on these topics. Links at the end of the recipe.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add tomato paste and sugar. Cook for another 1 minute.

13. STEP 13

    

    Pour in hot meat (as well as vegetable or chicken) broth. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and add dried oregano. Bring everything to a boil and simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes. The exact time depends on the heat setting, your cookware, and personal preference.

14. STEP 14

    

    Finally, turn off the heat, add sour cream to the gravy and stir.

15. STEP 15

    

    Pour the tomato sauce over the cutlets and return to the oven for another 30 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

    Serve the finished cutlets with tomato paste and sour cream sauce with any side dish. Bon appetit!

The cutlets with tomato sauce in the oven turned out simply delicious. I didn’t have sour cream, so I made it without it, just adding tomato paste. Next time, I’ll definitely add sour cream, I think with it the gravy will be even more tender and tastier. Everyone at home appreciated these delicious cutlets, and I liked that I didn’t have to bother with frying, I put it in the oven, waited and the delicious dish was ready! Maria, thank you for the recipe!
