Step by step

Method

3 steps

  1. 1

    Mix the ground meat with binders and seasonings (rice, crumbs, egg, onion, salt, pepper) until just combined — don’t pack it like clay or the balls get tough.

  2. 2

    Roll into even balls (about 1½ inches). Brown in a little oil over medium heat, turning so most sides get color, 6–10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add sauce or liquid, cover, and simmer until cooked through and the centers are no longer pink (or 165°F), often 20–45 minutes depending on size. Taste the sauce for salt and serve hot.
