Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large bowl, combine 3 lb ground beef, veal, and pork. Add 2 slightly beaten eggs, ½ cup grated Romano cheese, salt and pepper to taste, and 2 cloves crushed garlic. Add just enough bread crumbs to hold the mixture together when rolled into balls; mix gently until evenly combined.
-
Step 2.
Roll the meat mixture into balls, keeping them small (about 1–1.5 inches) to prevent falling apart during cooking.
-
Step 3.
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Fry the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8–10 minutes total. Do not overcrowd the pan.
-
Step 4.
Transfer the browned meatballs to a plate. Reserve the oil from the skillet to add to your sauce later.
