Ingredients
Scale
Rissoles
- 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 Frying
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the rissoles: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into oval or round patties, known as rissoles.
- Heat the pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil is hot enough for frying but not smoking.
- Cook the rissoles: Add the rissoles to the skillet and cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through inside.
- Drain excess oil: Once cooked, remove the rissoles from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the hot rissoles with your choice of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Ensure the rissoles are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for ground beef safety.
- You can substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs to accommodate dietary needs.
- For a juicier texture, avoid overmixing the meat mixture as it can make rissoles dense.
- Leftover rissoles can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
