Mediterranean Beef Meatballs
These flavorful, tender, and beefy Mediterranean meatballs are perfect for meal prep, an easy party appetizer, or to make ahead as a midday snack.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean grass fed ground beef
- 1/4 cup oat flour, ground oatmeal
- 2 Tbsps chopped fresh dill
- 2 Tbsps chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 Tbsps chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
- 1/4 tsp sea salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp finely ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 small onion, grated
- 2-3 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp avocado or olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients except for the oil, and stir everything until well combined. I usually do this with my hands because that's how my grandma taught me to do it :)
- Take a spoonful of your mixture and using your palms dipped in a bit of oil, shape into a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture. I love to use my small cookie scoop for this part because I can get them all pretty even.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add in about 1 Tablespoon of oil, swirl the pan to coat, then gently add in each meatball leaving some space in between each.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning on all sides until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with a fresh chopped Greek inspired cucumber and tomato salad with feta and enjoy!
