Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 0.5 lb Italian sausage
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp A1 Steak Sauce
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp A1 Steak Sauce (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Parmesan cheese, and 3 tablespoons of A1 Steak Sauce.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well using your hands or a sturdy spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated (but don’t overmix).
Scoop out the meat mixture using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop and roll it into evenly-sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the meatballs for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Once all the meatballs are seared, brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of A1 Steak Sauce to create a glaze.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the A1 Meatballs as an appetizer with toothpicks or as a main dish over pasta, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables.
