Ingredients
- 500 g lean ground beef (95% lean)
- 50 g breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0 as needed olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce, low-fat milk, black pepper, and salt.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients well until fully combined. It is important to not overwork the meat as it can lead to tough beef balls.
Step 4
With damp hands, form the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball (about 1-1.5 inches in diameter). This should make around 18-20 beef balls.
Step 5
Place the beef balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have some space between each one.
Step 6
Lightly spray the beef balls with olive oil spray to help them develop a bit of a crust while baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
Step 8
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or as a topping for pasta or salad.
