Beef meatballs

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for the dish. Minced meat can be wound independently from fresh meat, beef tenderloin. And you can use ready-made minced meat, prepared in advance or purchased in the store.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rice is washed, changing the water several times. Boil the rice in salted water until half-cooked, drain the water, rinse the rice in clean cold water. We throw the rice into a colander, let the water drain completely.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the onion from the husk and finely chop it with a knife.

4. Step 4:

   

   Carrots are washed, cleaned and grated.

5. Step 5:

   

   In a bowl with minced meat, add rice, half of the chopped onion, spices: salt and ground black pepper, beat in a chicken egg. Mix the mass thoroughly until a homogeneous minced meat consistency is obtained.

6. Step 6:

   

   Take the minced meat with a spoon, put it in a plate with flour (you can use breadcrumbs), form small balls. Pour vegetable oil into the pan. A frying pan should be used deep and with a thick bottom or a saucepan. We warm it up.

8. Step 7:

   

   Fry the meatballs until browned on both sides, turning them over with a spatula. We remove them from the pan.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the remaining chopped onion and grated carrot on the remaining oil in the pan. Fry the vegetables until the onion is transparent and the carrots are soft.

10. Step 9:

    

    We send tomato paste or chopped or mashed fresh tomatoes into a frying pan with vegetable frying. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

    We send the meatballs to the pan with gravy, mix and simmer them for about 20 minutes over low heat with the lid slightly open. Turn off the fire.

    The meatballs are ready. We serve the dish with a side dish to taste. Bon appetit!
