Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl, except olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat. Roll the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and fry until golden brown. (Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef. The better the beef, the better the meatballs will be. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean. You can also use a combination of beef and pork, or beef and veal.
- Don't overwork the meat. Overworking the meat will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
- Chill the meatballs before cooking. This will help them hold their shape while cooking.
- Cook the meatballs in a hot oven. This will help them brown evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Give the meatballs plenty of space so they can cook evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatballs. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. You can also use them in sandwiches, salads, or pasta dishes.
