Aussie BBQ Meatballs recipe


Ingredients :


455 g ground beef


55 g bread crumbs


2 small onions, chopped


6 g curry powder


5 g dried Italian seasoning


1 egg, beaten


1 clove garlic, minced


120 ml milk


3 g salt


1 g ground black pepper


15 g margarine


2 small onions, chopped


180 ml ketchup


120 ml beef stock


60 ml steak sauce


120 ml Worcestershire sauce


30 ml white vinegar


5 g instant coffee granules


110 g packed brown sugar


45 ml lemon juice


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C. In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, 2 onions, curry powder, Italian seasoning, egg, garlic, salt and pepper together. Now gradually mix in the milk until you have a nice texture for forming meatballs. You may not need all of the milk. Form the meat into balls slightly smaller than golf balls and place them in a greased baking dish.





Bake your meatballs for 30 min. Once the meatballs are in the oven, start making the sauce. Melt the margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining onions, and cook until browned. Stir in the ketchup, beef stock, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, instant coffee, brown sugar and lemon juice.





Bring to a boil over medium heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are done. Remove the meatballs from the oven, and drain any excess grease. Pour the sauce over them, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 30 min.Meatball recipes using mince?
Try this beefburger recipe, but make them smaller and don't flatten them out.





BEEFBURGER





Makes 2 quarter pounders





INGREDIENTS





250g of lean minced beef*


Ground pepper to taste


1 tablespoon of oil





METHOD





Divide the mince into two halves. Squeeze each half into a ball and then flatten it out into a disc. Make them firm, so that they don鈥檛 fall apart. Make them chunky, as thin edges will cook too quickly. Season with the pepper.





Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat. Fry the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side.





ADDITIONS %26amp; ALTERNATIVES





Add some finely chopped onion. Add some herbs.





Use minced lamb, pork or turkey, whichever is cheaper, instead of minced beef. If you use minced lamb, add some finely chopped mint, dried mint or some mint sauce. If you use minced pork, add some finely chopped apple or some apple sauce. If you use minced turkey, add some cranberry sauce.





If you need to make the mince go further, add some grated carrot.





If the burgers won鈥檛 hold together, add some beaten egg. If you make the mixture too wet, add some breadcrumbs.





Cook the burgers under a preheated medium grill for about 5 minutes on each side instead of frying. If the mince is very lean, you might need to coat the burgers with a little oil.





TIPS





When squeezing the mince, imagine it's someone you don't like.





Chilling the burgers in the fridge helps them to hold together whilst cooking.





* Use good quality lean and finely ground mince. The cheaper the mince, the higher the fat content and the more coarsely it is ground. Use chuck steak, which is reasonably cheap but doesn鈥檛 have too much fat, and either get the butcher to grind it, or invest in a meat grinder and do it yourself.
You have misspelled a word





Mince? Do you mean the spice mace Mace is used in cookies and sounds like a strange ingredient in meatballs
