Escalopes

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 kg beef, like beefsteaks, finely chopped
• 175 g kidney fat, finely chopped
• 20 g salt
• a pinch of pepper (a pinch)
• butter (a little)

Instructions

1. Take beefsteak-quality meat and chop it very finely, removing all sinews.
2. For 1 kg of meat, use 150 to 200 g of very finely chopped kidney fat, mix with 20 g of salt and a pinch of pepper, divide the mixture into equal portions, shape them with a knife into round or elongated flat forms like beefsteaks, and fry the meat in yellow butter for about 10 to 15 minutes on both sides, not too brown, basting frequently.
3. Serve the escalopes with mustard sauce, if desired.
