BEEF MEATBALLS (VIETNAMESE)

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients for the meatballs in a food processor and blend until everything is mixed and minced. Transfer to a bowl.
• Put a little oil in your hands, just enough to lightly coat fingers and palms and use a tablespoon to scoop up the beef mixture so the meatballs are the same size. Repeat process until all the beef mixture is used.
• In a deep pan over medium high heat, add oil and the meatballs. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the meatballs over, cover and cook for another 5 or until meatballs are golden brown.
• Mix all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a bowl and serve together with beef meatballs. Pour over or use as a dipping sauce.
• Serve with rice, tomatoes and a few cilantro leaves.

EXCELLENT MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions and bring to a medium-high heat. Season the onions generously with salt and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. The onions should be very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add the garlic and the crushed red pepper and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool.
• In a large bowl combine the meats, eggs, Parmigiano, parsley and bread crumbs. It works well to squish the mixture with your hands. Add the onion mixture and season generously with salt and squish some more. Add the water and do 1 final really good squish. The mixture should be quite wet. Test the seasoning of the mix by making a mini hamburger size patty and cooking it. The mixture should taste really good! If it doesn't it is probably missing salt. Add more. Add more anyway.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Shape the meat into desired size. Some people like 'em big some people like 'em small. I prefer meatballs slightly larger than a golf ball. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked all the way through. If using right away, add them to your big pot of marinara sauce. If not using right away, they can be frozen for later use. Serve with pasta and sauce or just eat them straight out of the pot! YUM!
• Coat a large saucepot with olive oil and add the pancetta. Bring the pot to a medium-high heat and cook the pancetta for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, season generously with salt and stir to coat with olive oil. Cook the onions for 6 to 7 minutes stirring frequently. The onions should become very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes stirring frequently.
• Pass the tomatoes through the food mill. Be sure to pass all of the pulp through the holes leaving only the stems and the seeds, and be sure to scrape the pulp off of the bottom of the food mill. That's all of the big money stuff! Add the tomatoes to the pot and rinse out 1 of the empty tomato cans with water and add that water to the pot (about 2 to 3 cups). Season generously with salt and TASTE IT!!!! Tomatoes take a lot of salt. Season in baby steps and taste every step of the way. Cook the sauce for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally and tasting frequently.
• Use the sauce right away on pasta or for any other tomato sauce need. This sauce can also be cooled and stored in the refrigerator for a few days and freezes really well.
• Yield: 2 quarts

• Heat a splash of oil in a pan over a low heat, add the onion and fry gently for 10 to 15 minutes, or until soft.
• Turn the heat up to medium, then add the chilli and tomatoes. Half-fill one of the tomato tins with water, give it a swirl and tip into the pan. Season lightly with sea salt and black pepper and cook gently for 30 minutes, then break up the tomatoes.
• Whiz the bread (remove the crusts, if you like) in a food processor until fine, then tip into a large bowl. Add the meat, nutmeg, lemon zest, egg yolk and a good pinch of seasoning. Pick, finely chop and add the sage and rosemary, then mix and scrunch together. Shape into little balls, around the size of a gobstopper.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the meatballs cook until browned over - be careful not to break them up.
• Once browned, add the meatballs to the tomato sauce, stir carefully to cover, and braise gently for 45 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Serve each portion scattered with a few raw peas, shavings of pecorino and picked marjoram (if using).

ONE SKILLET BEEF MEATBALLS WITH RICE AND PEAS

Steps:

• Thaw the meatballs if they are frozen. I just stuck them in the microwave for a couple minutes. They don't have to be completely thaw, just enough that they will finish thawing and warm up while cooking the rice.
• Heat a high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil.
• When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and saute 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Add the meatballs and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the beef broth, rice, garlic powder, pepper and salt. Scrape up any browned bits.
• Stir and bring the heat up to high so that it comes to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover with a lid.
• Continue to simmer with the lid on for 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir at 15 minutes to make sure it isn't sticking.
• When the rice is cooked, remove from the heat and season to taste, adding more salt and pepper if you want.
• Stir in the peas. Add as much as looks good to you.
• Add the green onions and parsley, if using. Cover until the peas are warm, just a few minutes.
• This is great with a big green salad. I actually ate mine right on top of a bed of spinach. If you wanted you could stir fresh spinach into the meal and let it wilt while it's still on the stove.

Add as many as the pan will allow without overcrowding, working in two batches if needed. Brown the balls on all sides rotating as needed, about 8 minutes. Remove the balls to a plate when they are browned all over. Continue with the remaining meat. When all the meatballs are browned, pour off the excess oil from the pan. Add the marinara.

BAKED ITALIAN BEEF MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl add ground beef, oregano, garlic, onion, salt and pepper.
• Place the breadcrumbs in the milk and allow them to sit for a minute to soften and absorb some of the milk. Drain any excess milk from the breadcrumbs and add them to the meat mixture. This milk and breadcrumb mixture is called a panade and helps to keep the meatballs soft and tender.
• Crack an egg and add the egg to the meat mixture.
• Cover your hands with the olive oil generously to keep the meat mixture from drying out when you mix the meat. Mix the meast just enough that the breadcrumbs and spices are distributed well into the mixture, but not to overmix. Using your hands over a spoon also helps you to keep from overmixing the meat.
• Once the meat is mixed, with oiled hands portion the meat into about twelve equal sized meatballs. Give the meatballs a quick and gentle roll, then place each meatball on the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between meatballs.
• Bake meatballs for 18-20 minutes. Flip the meatballs after about 10-15 minutes to help them to brown more evenly. Meatballs should be cooked all the way through and no longer pink in the center.
• While meatballs are cooking, place tomato sauce in a covered pot with a lid on the stove and heat through until it is simmering.
