Beef cutlets with zucchini are the embodiment of home comfort and traditional Russian cuisine. The combination of juicy beef mince and tender young zucchini makes them especially soft and light, while the addition of oats gives a pleasant texture. Steaming preserves the maximum flavor and nutritional properties of the cutlets, keeping them tender and juicy. This dish is perfect for those who care about proper nutrition. They can be served with light vegetable side dishes, sour cream sauce, or fresh herbs to enhance their natural taste. These cutlets symbolize care and warm family evenings when the home is filled with the aroma of delicious, healthy food.
