CLASSIC BEEF MEATBALLS



Classic Beef Meatballs image

Ricotta cheese helps to make these meatballs moist and delicious in this popular recipe from Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow's "The Meatball Shop Cookbook."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes about 2 dozen 1 1/2-inch meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds 80 percent lean ground beef
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel
4 cups Classic Tomato Sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle olive oil into a 9-by 13-inch baking dish; using your hand, evenly coat entire surface. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use your hands to mix together beef, ricotta, eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley, oregano, salt, red-pepper flakes, and fennel until fully incorporated. Roll mixture into firmly packed 1 1/2-inch balls.
  • Place meatballs in prepared baking dish, taking care to line them up snugly so that they are touching one another in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. Transfer baking dish to oven. Bake until meatballs are firm and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball reads 165 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, heat tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  • Remove meatballs from oven and carefully drain excess grease from pan. Pour heated sauce over meatballs and return to oven; cook for 15 minutes more. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef: Use a lean cut of beef, such as sirloin or chuck, for a flavorful and tender result.
  • Grind the beef yourself: Freshly ground beef has a better texture and flavor than pre-ground beef.
  • Season the beef well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the beef, such as garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Chill the beef mixture before cooking: This will help the meatballs hold their shape.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning on the outside and staying raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatballs are cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce: A simple tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a tangy barbecue sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Highland beef balls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With their tender texture and flavorful taste, they are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give highland beef balls a try!
