Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, bread crumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly but do not overwork the meat.
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should have approximately 12-16 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the meatballs in batches, turning them to ensure they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Add more oil if necessary.
Transfer the seared meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and place in the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 160°F (70°C).
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs with your choice of sauce, pasta, or enjoy them as a standalone protein entree.
