Ingredients
- 500 g lean ground beef
- 1 large egg white
- 30 g breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 15 g fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 spray olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg white, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients together until evenly combined but try not to overmix as it might toughen the meatballs.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Shape the meat mixture into approximately 16 meatballs, each about the size of a golf ball.
Step 5
Place the meatballs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned evenly and cooked through with no pink in the center.
Step 6
Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should read 160°F (70°C).
Step 7
Serve the grilled meatballs hot with your choice of side dishes like a salad or whole-grain pita for a complete low-fat meal.
