- Mix a cup of chopped white onion, 3/4 cup of bread crumbs, up to a table spoon of salt, a tea spoon of black paper, an egg and a splash of milk into a bowl. Add around 1.2 pounds of ground beef. Mix everything into the ground beef (I use my hands but there are kitchen combines for that as well).
- Add a good amount (a half an inch deep) of vegetable oil to a pan. Heat the oil to medium-high heat.
- Shape the kotletas into 1 inch thick patties.
- Add kotletas to the hot frying pan. Be careful not to get hot oil on your hands.
- Cook 3 mins on each side on medium-high heat. Lower the heat to low and simmer kotletas for about 15 mins. The more you turn them, the tastier they will be. Basically, you are trying to melt the onion inside the kotletas during this stage.
You can make the process much faster if you buy pre-chopped white onion and ready-made bread crumbs.
