{Recipe}Goan Beef Cutlet

"Goan Beef Cutlet" is a thin slice of beef marinated in vinegar, spices and then shallow fried with rava /semolina coating until crisp. Served as side dish or as starter with drinks. However, Beef cutlet is relished when stuffed between pao with fresh salad and called as Beef Cutlet Pao. Beef Cutlet Pao is one of the best street food and mostly enjoyed by Beef lovers.

Once you see the dish you might not say its a cutlet because cutlet is basically a round shaped patty prepared using minced meat or vegetables and then rolled in bread crumbs and then shallow fried but Beef cutlet as mentioned above statement is thin slice which marinated mostly in Goan green masala and the rava coated and shallow fried or sometimes even deep fried. I can easily hog two Beef cutlet pao along with a glass of chilled Pepsi :). I even remember that during my first pregnancy just before a week of my delivery I had hogged beef cutlets and Croquettes ;) hehehe. Beef Cutlet is Goa's street burger which satisfies our cravings to the max.

Below Prep Video.

Step Wise Method

1.Wash the Beef slice and pat dry them with kitchen towel or tissue so to absorb the extra water. Flatten the slices with kitchen stone or a Meat Mallet Tenderizer(its a hammer to soften or flatten the meat)I used kitchen stone since i do not have one. 

2.Then apply salt,green masala over the slices and allow the beef slices to marinate overnight in refrigerator or at least for 6 hours.

3.Once you planning to fry ,  then remove the marinated slices from the refrigerator . Coat each slice in the rava well and keep it aside.

4.To shallow fry take a non-stick pan or a cast iron pan.Once the pan heated add oil and shallow fry the beef until you get nice light brown colour. Make sure fry on low low flame because the beef has to cook first and then the rava coating will get colour.

5. Crispy coated and moist inside Beef cutlet you can serve as starter with a chilled Beer or Your favourite Cold Drink.

6. Few Beef cutlets you can chop for the cutlet Pao stuffing. And also you can mix all the salad ingredients and keep it ready.

7.To prepare Cutlet pao take a pao then open it and place the chopped cutlet and the fresh tangy salad.Cover the pao and just have a big bite of the yummiest Goan Cutlet Pao.

 

8.Next time this yummy street food you can enjoy in your homes with your family.Little lengthy process but you will enjoy you snack to the fullest.


Note:
1.Make sure to have tender meat as it will help cook the cutlet in less time.
2.Cook on slow flame to avoid burning of cutlet.
3.In my recipe i have used Unddo which is hard crust bread available in Goan bakeries you can use Pao or slice bread too if pao not available.
