Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean ground beef
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Carrot
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 60 milliliters Low sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Grate the carrot using a box grater.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, egg, dried parsley, and ground black pepper.

Step 3

Mix all ingredients well using your hands or a spatula until everything is evenly distributed.

Step 4

Gradually add the low sodium beef broth into the mixture to ensure it remains moist and comes together well.

Step 5

Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat round patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the rissoles to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.

Step 8

Cook each rissole for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. An internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) should be reached.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the rissoles to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil before serving.

Step 10

Serve the rissoles warm with your desired sides such as steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
