Ingredients
- 1/2 small yellow onion grated (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 large egg
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoon fresh dill chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1 lb ground beef I used 93% lean
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, add the grated onion, egg, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
- Add the ground beef to the bowl. Using your hands, gently fold it in with the egg mixture until everything is just combined (make sure not to over mix).
- Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and roll into balls. Place on a plate and set aside. You should have about 12-15 meatballs.
- Add the olive oil to a large oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Once hot (you should be able to feel the heat with your hand above the pan), add the meatballs. Sear on each side for a few minutes until golden.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160 F is reached.
