Meat meatballs in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make meat meatballs in a frying pan? Prepare the products. Meatballs can be made from purchased minced meat, or make it yourself at home. If the minced meat is frozen, then defrost it beforehand. I cooked minced pork. For frying, you can use vegetable oil instead of butter.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion from the husk, rinse with tap water. Cut the onion into two parts, then chop each into small cubes. Alternatively, you can grate the onion on a coarse grater or punch it in a chopper.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the minced meat in a deep dish, add the chopped onion, mix. Add black pepper and salt to taste. You can put your favorite spices.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add the raw egg to the minced meat for the meatballs. Stir the minced meat with your hands until smooth. If you mix with a spoon, the desired consistency will not be achieved. You can also beat the minced meat on a bowl, it will become even more homogeneous. To do this, forcefully throw a lump of minced meat into a bowl from a short distance.

6. Step 5:

   

   For breading, you will need sifted wheat flour. From the minced meat, form meat balls. Unlike ordinary cutlets, the meatballs are made round and small in size. To prevent the minced meat from sticking to your hands, moisten them with cold water. Roll the meatballs in flour from all sides.

7. Step 6:

   

   Melt the butter in a frying pan over low heat, lay out the meatballs and fry them until golden brown on both sides. Watch out for the fire, the butter may burn if heated too much. In order for the meatballs to be completely cooked inside, cover them with a lid at the end of cooking and hold it for 5 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Serve the meat balls to the table with a side dish. If they turn out to be greasy, then put them on a paper towel — it will absorb excess fat. As a side dish, mashed potatoes, pasta and buckwheat are well suited. Enjoy your meal!
