How to cook minced beef steak

1. I cleaned a piece of fresh beef pulp (shoulder) from all connective and intermuscular films and dried it with a towel. To make the steak juicy, it is best not to grind the meat in a meat grinder, but to chop it with a knife/hatchet. I cut a piece of pulp into slices about 0.5 cm wide - always across the grain. For slicing, it is most convenient to use a large and sharp knife.
2. I cut each piece into long sticks about 0.5 cm wide. Then I crushed the sticks into small cubes - it should look like cutting brunoise (like Olivier).
3. And after that, she chopped it further - she passed it over the minced meat with a sharp knife several times, chopping with the knife from top to bottom, so that the pieces of beef became even smaller, like minced meat. For beginners, it will be more convenient to chop in portions. You can speed up the process if you use not just one knife, but a pair of knives of the same size or a meat hatchet.
4. I peeled the onion and cut it into small cubes. In order for the minced meat to keep its shape well, you need to take 180-200 g of onion per 500 g of beef (3 medium onions). If you add too little onion, the steak will be dry, and if you add too much, excess liquid will form and it will fall apart.
5. Combine the onion and minced meat in a deep bowl, add salt. Mix thoroughly - you need to knead for 7-10 minutes, with passion, knead and pinch so that the onion releases juice and the minced meat becomes plastic and dense. After kneading, I beat the minced meat thoroughly, hitting it forcefully against the edges of the bowl so that it compacts, the plasticity of the fibers increases and excess air escapes.
6. Using oiled palms, I formed round pieces. Serving size is approximately 80 grams. Thickness - about 1.5 cm, diameter - 8 cm. There will be 6 blanks in total.
7. Heat up a frying pan - cast iron or grill will do. It is best to fry in ghee or refined vegetable oil. Butter will not work; it will burn and smoke. To ensure that the steak retains its shape during frying and does not “puff up,” it must be periodically pressed down with a spatula, but not too hard so that the meat juices do not leak out.
8. You need to cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, 8-10 minutes in total, the heat should be medium, without a lid. I add pepper during frying, then its aroma is better revealed.
9. Traditionally, chopped beefsteak is served with an egg - when cut, the yolk slowly spreads, serving as a kind of sauce that harmonizes perfectly with the beef cutlet. To make the fried egg smooth around the edges, it is usually prepared in tin molds. To do this, I heated a frying pan with vegetable oil, put a molding ring into it (diameter 8 cm, also greased the inside with oil to prevent it from burning), heated it and beat in 1 whole egg. Cooked over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Added salt and pepper to taste.

Beef steak should be served immediately after cooking, while still hot. The egg is placed on top of the cutlet. Can be topped with vegetables or assembled into burgers. Enjoy your meal!
