Description
Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these little beef oysters are loaded with protein, flavor, and FUN.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
5 eggs
3 Tbsp oil, divided
Instructions
Separate the eggs. Whip the whites until stiff peaks form.
Grate onion and garlic to a fine mash, or toss them in the blender/food processor. To the yolks, add ground beef, onion/garlic mash, salt, pepper, and baking powder.
Gently fold whites in with meat mixture.
In a large (nonstick) frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbsp oil. Drop small spoonfuls of beef mixture onto the pan, flipping when they are brown.
Continue with remaining meat, adding oil as needed. Keep beef oysters warm until serving. Reheat leftovers in a frying pan.
Notes
Using a nonstick pan reduces how much oil used. However, it’s the hot oil that gives the beef oysters a little crispiness.
1 pound of meat should serve 5-6 people. If you choose to use only 1/2 pound, all ingredients can be divided in half, but use 3 eggs.
