ingredients

  • 1 pound ground Australian grassfed beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 pound ground veal
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated pecorino romano cheese
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup tomato sauce

For the coating

ingredients

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated pecorino romano
  • 2 cups neutral oil, for frying

Method

  • Step 1

    Mix ground beef, ground pork, ground veal, parsley, salt, pepper, eggs, pecorino romano cheese, breadcrumbs, milk, and tomato sauce in a large bowl and mix by hand until well incorporated (mixing by hand helps prevent overmixing!) Roll into small balls (about 2 teaspoons).

  • Step 2

    Place remaining breadcrumbs and pecorino romano cheese in a large, shallow dish and stir to combine. Drop meatballs into breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat evenly.

  • Step 3

    Heat oil to 350F degrees in a large, deep saute pan. Working in batches, fry meatballs until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet using a slotted spoon. Store cooked meatballs in a 250F degree oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
