Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground beef Use a blend with some fat content, ideally around 80/20.
  • 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs Plain or seasoned breadcrumbs can be used.
  • 1 large Egg Helps bind the ingredients together.
  • 1 small Onion Finely chopped; sautéing enhances flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced for flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Adds umami and tang.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt For seasoning.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper For seasoning.
  • 2 cups Beef broth Used for simmering the meatballs.

  • Crack the egg into the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Shape the mixture into meatballs, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Add the meatballs to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the meatballs for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides.
