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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them soak for about 5 minutes, allowing the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together until they are well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates using a brush or a paper towel dipped in olive oil.

Step 5

Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter, which should yield around 20 to 24 meatballs.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Check that the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 75°C (165°F) for safety.

Step 8

Remove the meatballs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the grilled meatballs hot with your choice of dipping sauces or over your favorite pasta.
