🙋 Recommended for

  • Those looking for a nutritious side dish or snack for children who cannot eat tough meat, thanks to the soft and moist juices.
  • Those who prefer homemade fried dishes that are crispy on the outside and moist like hamburger steak on the inside.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • Pork trimmings or ground pork 200g
  • Ground beef 200g
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
  • A little black pepper
  • A little parsley powder
  • Flour as needed
  • 1-2 eggs
  • Breadcrumbs as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Place pork trimmings and membranes, beef, onion, seasoned salt, black pepper, and parsley powder in an electric chopper and grind until fine.
  2. Knead the ground meat mixture with your hands until sticky and elastic, removing air, then shape into round, thick patties.
  3. Lightly coat each patty with flour, dip in beaten egg, then press breadcrumbs firmly onto the surface.
  4. Carefully place the patties into oil heated to 170°C and fry gently until golden brown and cooked through.
  1. Grind pork, beef, onion, and seasoned salt together in a chopper.
  2. Shape the sticky meat mixture into round, thick patties.
  3. Coat with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then fry gently at 170°C until fully cooked.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Instead of discarding tough meat membranes or trimmings left over from cooking, grind them in a blender to recycle them into an excellent meat dish without any chewy texture.
  • If the frying oil temperature is too high, only the breadcrumbs will burn while the inside remains uncooked; fry gently at medium heat (around 170°C) to seal in the juices for success.
