Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them soak for about 5 minutes, allowing the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid.
Add the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, grated Parmesan, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together until they are well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates using a brush or a paper towel dipped in olive oil.
Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter, which should yield around 20 to 24 meatballs.
Arrange the meatballs on the grill, leaving space between each one. Grill for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure all sides get a nice, even sear and they are cooked through.
Check that the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 75°C (165°F) for safety.
Remove the meatballs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled meatballs hot with your choice of dipping sauces or over your favorite pasta.
