Ingredients

8 servings

  • 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil, or as needed

Instructions

  • Combine onion and garlic in the bowl of a food processor; puree until finely minced.
  • Transfer onion mixture to a large bowl and add beef, pork, egg, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes. Mix with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Grease a cast iron griddle or pan with grapeseed oil and place over low heat until hot.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to form meatballs; place them directly onto the heated griddle. Don't overcrowd.
  • Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes per batch. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
