Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef
• 100 g Bacon, finely chopped
• 1 medium Brown onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 2 tbsp Plain flour
• 2 cups Beef stock
• 1 tsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped bacon, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 2

Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer cooked rissoles to a plate and keep warm.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux.

Step 5

Gradually add the beef stock to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.

Step 6

Stir in the soy sauce and season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Serve the rissoles warm, drizzled with the rich gravy, and garnish with fresh parsley. Pair with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
