Pan Fried And Baked Beef Patties

Wild Boar has been craving for patties especially beef patties !  Talking about eating more veggies this year LOL!  The family loves beef .  I have a piece of beef cut meant for stir fry with ginger and spring onions but since the craving for patties is so  strong. I took it out and chopped them coarsely . Patties are easy to make. Just add in chopped red onions, basil leaves and some pepper and salt and you will have the best patties for dinner :)  You must be wondering why pan fried and baked at the same time...well , I pan fried it first then placed the patties on a grill pan and baked them in the oven for a  few minutes  The baking process will help drain off excess oil.   

you can add in any ingredients you like to the minced beef,

I added in chopped onions, fresh basil and for seasoning

sea salt and fresh ground white pepper...mixed well and 

form patties...size of your choice

roll the patties on flour mixed with potato flakes

these are ready for pan frying

on non stick pan

pan fried them till 3/4 cooked , take out and 

placed them on grill pan and baked in the oven

for 10-15 minutes  till  cooked 

I am happy to see the oil dripping from the patties onto the 

aluminium foil 

 the patties look crisps and delicious,

 the fact that all the oil from the patties have dripped to the bottom

of the grill pan making the patties crispy on the outside

and moist on the inside....delish !
