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

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.
