Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel and quarter the 4 potatoes, then boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While potatoes cook, trim and cut the 1 head of broccoli into florets, slice the 2 carrots and 1 zucchini into rounds.

  3. Step 3

    Steam or boil the broccoli, carrots, and zucchini until crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes; drain and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Beat the 2 eggs in a shallow dish. Dip each of the 4 beef cutlets in egg, then coat with the 1 cup breadcrumbs, pressing lightly.

  5. Step 5

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high with a little oil. Cook the breaded cutlets until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. Step 6

    Drain the potatoes, add the 2 tbsp butter and a splash of milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the cutlets with the mashed potatoes and vegetables on the side.
