Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb (500g) ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce (ketchup)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until you have an even mixture.
- Shape Rissoles: Divide the meat mixture into equal portions then shape each portion into oval or round patties, about the size of your palm, forming the rissoles.
- Heat Oil: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Cook Rissoles: Add the rissoles to the hot skillet. Fry each side for 4-5 minutes until they develop a golden brown crust and are fully cooked through.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the cooked rissoles from the pan and place them on paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
- Serve: Serve the hot rissoles immediately alongside mashed potatoes, vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- For best results, do not overcrowd the skillet; fry in batches if necessary.
- You can substitute Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce for a different flavor profile.
- Leftover rissoles can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven.
- To make this gluten-free, replace breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
