beef

🥗Healthier: lean beef

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground beef is often more affordable than cuts of steak.

Make a puree with 1 kilogram of cooked mandioca.

Add 500 grams of ground beef, 1 chopped onion, and 3 chopped garlic cloves to the puree.

Mix in 1 teaspoon of pepper, 2 tablespoons of crushed crackers, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Mix all ingredients well with your hands until fully integrated.

Put a little oil on your hands and form patties.

You can either bake the patties or deep-fry them in plenty of oil.

If frying, cook until they are well browned and crispy.

Let them drain on a paper towel before serving.
