Questions that people really ask (FAQ)

Can Russian steaks be cooked in the oven or air fryer?

Yes of course. You can brush them with a little olive oil and cook them at 200°C for about 15 minutes until they turn golden brown.

Why does the dough fall apart when I shape them?

This generally occurs if the vegetables retain too much cooking water. However, you can easily fix it by adding a couple extra tablespoons of breadcrumbs.

Can they be frozen once formed?

Indeed. The ideal is to freeze them individually on a tray with parchment paper and, once firm, transfer them to an airtight bag to optimize space.

How long do they last in the refrigerator with the sauce?

They last perfectly for a maximum of 3 days in an airtight glass container. Furthermore, resting noticeably intensifies the aromas of the sauce.

Can I use vegan cheese in the recipe?

Without a doubt. However, make sure you choose an option that melts well so as not to lose that creamy texture so characteristic of the dish.
