Minced meat cutlets in the oven with gravy

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make minced meat cutlets in the oven with gravy? Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take a loaf of bread, break it into pieces, put it in a bowl and cover with cold water, leave for 10 minutes. You need to fill it with cold water so that the bun becomes soft, but retains its structure. Hot water boils it and turns into porridge. Instead of a roll, you can use white bread, but then cut off all the hard crusts.

3. STEP 3

   

   Squeeze the loaf lightly and place it in the blender bowl. Peel the onions, rinse and cut with a knife, add to the bun. Beat everything until smooth. Instead of a blender, you can pass everything through a meat grinder with a fine grid.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the minced meat in a bowl and beat in the egg. It is best to take homemade minced meat from pork and beef in equal proportions. Minced pork and chicken are also perfect. Wash the egg with baking soda first, as there may be harmful bacteria on its surface.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add chopped bread and onions to the bowl with minced meat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Salt, pepper and add paprika. If you don't have it or don't like it, just don't add it. If you wish, you can add any other spices to the minced meat to your taste.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix everything well and beat until the minced meat is compact and elastic. To do this, lift the minced meat above the bowl and throw it back. Do this about 10-15 times.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour flour into a bowl. It can be of absolutely any type, the main thing is that it is free of debris and not spoiled. With wet hands, divide the minced meat into equal parts and form them into cutlets. Place in a bowl with flour.

9. STEP 9

   

   A baking dish, I have 20*15 centimeters, grease with vegetable oil. Dredge the cutlets on all sides in flour and place tightly in the pan.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake the cutlets for about 20 minutes. The cutlets should thicken and become elastic. This is to prevent them from falling apart after adding the gravy.

11. STEP 11

    

    While the cutlets are baking, peel the onion and chop finely. Pour vegetable oil into a heated frying pan and add onions. Fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Wash the carrots with a brush in running water, peel, rinse and grate on a fine grater. Add it to the pan with the onions.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place over medium heat and fry for another 2 minutes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Add tomato sauce to the pan, add water and stir. Instead of tomato sauce, you can use ketchup in the same proportion. Or tomato paste, but 2 times less.

15. STEP 15

    

    Add sour cream to the pan. Take good quality sour cream, without vegetable fats, so that it does not curl into flakes later.

16. STEP 16

    

    Salt and pepper everything and add a little sugar to balance the acidity from the tomato. Stir, bring to a boil, but do not boil.

17. STEP 17

    

    Remove the meatballs from the oven and pour the prepared gravy over them.

18. STEP 18

    

    Return the pan to the oven and bake the cutlets in the gravy for 15 minutes. The times are approximate and will depend on the operation of your oven.

19. STEP 19

    

    Remove the cutlets from the oven and serve immediately. Absolutely any side dish goes well with juicy cutlets in the oven with tomato sauce, due to the fact that they are served with gravy.

20. STEP 20

    

    Bon appetit!

Your recipe for minced meat cutlets in the oven with gravy is just a godsend!!! Thank you so much for such a delicious dinner option for the whole family. The minced meat cutlets with gravy were devoured with a bang! Both my husband and little son liked the dish. The cutlets are very tasty and tender, soaked in a wonderful sauce. It is good to pour the gravy with vegetables not only over the cutlets themselves, but also over the side dish. It’s great to eat with buckwheat, potatoes, rice, and pasta. I used minced pork and chicken and added a little more ground coriander, and also chopped 3 cloves of garlic along with the onion. The cutlets turned out amazingly tasty and soft. I also changed the shape of the cutlets, preparing small round ones rather than oblong ones. My baby loves meat balls, specifically round “pupu” as he puts it))) Now this is one of our favorite dishes!!! I advise everyone to make such cutlets in gravy!

Very tasty and not complicated recipe! I really love all kinds of cutlets with gravy, so I couldn’t pass up this dish! Very tender, aromatic and juicy cutlets just melt in your mouth, an excellent side dish for porridges and purees, and pasta. And since the cutlets are from the oven, it’s also healthy! I thank the author for such a delicious dish; the whole family ate it with pleasure!
