In a small bowl, mix panko and milk, and let soak.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine the ground meat and salt and pepper, kneading well until it becomes sticky.
Step 5
Add the soaked panko, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, egg, and nutmeg, and knead well. Add the cooled onion and mix thoroughly.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Always cool the sautéed onions to room temperature before adding them to the meat mixture to prevent the fat in the meat from melting prematurely.
⚠️ Chilling the patties in the refrigerator after shaping makes them hold their form better and helps lock in the juices.
🔥 The coating is fragile when first added to the oil, so do not touch the cutlets until the crust has set.
🍳 Frying at a low-medium temperature of 160°C allows them to cook through thoroughly, resulting in a plump and juicy finish.
