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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands until they are well combined and the mixture is uniform.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the seared beef balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
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).
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
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.
