Cooking Method for Beef Mince Bifteck
Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- In a large bowl, mix together the minced meat, grated onion, breadcrumbs, salt, a pinch of cinnamon, paprika, black pepper, one egg, ground ginger, and garlic powder.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly for 1-2 minutes until well mixed.
Shape the Bifteck:
- Place a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and lightly brush it with olive oil.
- Take portions of the meat mixture and shape them into patties. Place each patty on the plastic wrap. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Prepare the Egg Wash:
- In a separate bowl, beat the remaining egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add a small teaspoon of yogurt or water to the egg mixture to thin it out for easier coating.
Coat the Bifteck:
- Take each patty and coat it first in flour, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Repeat this process for all the patties.
- For best results, refrigerate the coated patties for 30-60 minutes to help them firm up.
Fry the Bifteck:
- Heat a large frying pan over high heat and add enough oil for frying.
- Once the oil is hot, fry the bifteck patties until they are golden and fully cooked through.
Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the bifteck from the pan and serve hot.
