Beef Cutlets

These beef cutlets are a real treat. Serve them with a salad or put them in a Goan pao or flat bread and enjoy! My late paternal aunt used to make these and this is her beef cutlet recipe. When I first started working most of the family including my mum went on holiday so I had gone to her for advice on how to make beef cutlets.
