Ingredients

• 500 grams beef chuck
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 500 milliliters beef broth
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 150 grams gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 1 liter vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cooking the beef chuck in a pot with salted water until tender, for about 1.5 hours. Once done, shred the beef using two forks.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and add the chopped onion. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir the gluten-free flour into the onions and butter, creating a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Cook until thickened.

Step 4

Mix in the shredded beef, mustard, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine, then simmer until the mixture is quite thick and pulling from the sides of the pan.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a tray and let it cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until very firm.

Step 6

Shape the chilled beef mixture into cylindrical croquettes, about 8-10 cm in length.

Step 7

Beat the eggs in a shallow dish. Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.

Step 8

Dip each croquette into the beaten eggs, then roll in the gluten-free breadcrumbs until well-coated.

Step 9

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pan to 180°C (350°F). Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crisp, approximately 3-4 minutes per batch.

Step 10

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
