Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1/2 lb Ground pork
• 1 Onion
• 2 slices White bread
• 1/4 cup Milk
• 1 Eggs
• 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Soak the bread in milk until sodden, then squeeze dry — this panade is what keeps kotlety juicy.
2. Mix the meats with grated onion, the soaked bread, egg, salt, and pepper; do not overwork or they turn dense.
3. Shape into oval patties with wet hands and coat lightly in breadcrumbs.
4. Fry in butter over medium heat 4 minutes per side until deeply golden with a crisp crust.
5. Finish in a 350-degree oven 8 minutes so the centers cook through without burning the crust.
6. Rest 5 minutes and serve with mashed potatoes and a spoonful of sour cream.
