Ingredients
•
1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
•
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
•
1 pound ground beef
•
1 pound ground pork
•
1 large egg
•
2 tablespoons salt
•
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
•
2 tablespoons dried basil
•
2 tablespoons dried oregano
•
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
•
1 tablespoon tomato paste
•
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
•
1 teaspoon grapeseed oil, or as needed
Directions
1
Combine onion and garlic in the bowl of a food processor; puree until finely minced.
2
Transfer onion mixture to a large bowl and add beef, pork, egg, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes. Mix with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3
Grease a cast iron griddle or pan with grapeseed oil and place over low heat until hot.
4
Use an ice cream scoop to form meatballs; place them directly onto the heated griddle. Don't overcrowd.
5
Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes per batch. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
