These Turkish-style cutlets are juicy, smoky and full of fresh cilantro, baked in the oven with golden potato wedges until everything is tender and fragrant. It is a complete one-tray dinner, as easy as our Juicy Chicken Cutlets with Carrot and Celery and just as comforting as Braised Pork with Potatoes and Peas. Serve them hot with a fresh salad, and find more weeknight inspiration in the dinner ideas on Allrecipes.
Ingredients
- 700 g ground beef
- 1 red sweet pepper, finely chopped
- 50 g cilantro, chopped
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 4-5 potatoes, cut into wedges
- Olive oil
- Herbes de Provence
Instructions
- Mix the ground beef with the tomato paste, chopped bell pepper, cilantro, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Form into cutlets. Score each with a bamboo stick for the Turkish look.
- Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence.
- Arrange the cutlets and potatoes on a baking tray.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 45-50 minutes.
Tips
- Cut the potato wedges evenly so they cook at the same rate as the cutlets.
- Do not overmix the beef, or the cutlets can turn tough; mix just until combined.
- Let the tray rest for 5 minutes before serving so the juices settle.
