There are many types of cutlets in the world, which differ in composition, method of preparation and culinary traditions of different countries. For example, a steak is a cutlet of minced meat, usually made from beef. Steaks can be cooked to different degrees of doneness, from rare (with blood) to well-done (well-done).
Kiev-style cutlets are no less famous. These are chicken fillet cutlets filled with butter and herbs. They are deep-fried to a golden crust and served with mashed potatoes or other garnish. There are also fried cutlets. These are minced chicken or veal cutlets fried in breadcrumbs. They have a round shape and a crispy crust.
