How to Make Aussie Rissoles
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (or 1 tablespoon fresh), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs (approximately golf ball-sized).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil (vegetable or canola) in a large heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat.
- Carefully place the rissoles in the hot pan, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until deeply browned and cooked through. You may need to cook in batches.
- Remove the rissoles from the pan and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- (Optional) For a richer gravy, deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Alternatively, use your favorite beef gravy recipe.
- Serve the Aussie Rissoles hot, drizzled with gravy or your favorite tomato sauce.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
