Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands until they are well combined and the mixture is uniform.
Shape the beef mixture into balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter, by rolling them between your palms. This should make about 16-20 beef balls.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the beef balls to the skillet in batches. Sear them on all sides for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown.
Transfer the seared beef balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the beef balls are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the gluten-free savory beef balls warm as an appetizer, or add them to your favorite marinara sauce and enjoy them with gluten-free pasta.
