Instructions

1. Remove crusts from stale white bread and soak in milk for 2-3 min until soft, then squeeze out excess milk.
2. Peel 1 onion and 2 garlic cloves, then roughly chop them.
3. Trim 600 g beef and 500 g pork by removing veins and membranes, then cut into 2-3 cm pieces.
4. Grind meat, onion, and garlic together through a meat grinder into a bowl.
5. Add squeezed bread, egg yolks, salt, and pepper to the ground meat.
6. Knead the mixture for 3-5 min until pale and sticky. Keep cold by working quickly or refrigerating if needed.
7. With damp hands, form the mixture into oval patties about 2 cm thick.
8. Coat each patty in flour on both sides, then refrigerate for 10 min.
9. Heat melted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
10. Place patties in the skillet (work in batches if needed) and fry for 3-4 min until the bottom is golden brown.
11. Flip the patties, reduce heat to medium, cover with a lid, and fry for 5 min.
12. Check that pork reaches 63°C (145°F) internal temperature; alternatively, pierce a patty and confirm juice runs clear.
13. Transfer to a plate and serve hot.
