Season the mixture with salt if needed after tasting.

Heat a cast iron pan on medium-high heat and add vegetable oil (or a combination of oil and butter).

Shape the meat mixture into oval-shaped meatballs and place them into the pan.

Turn the heat down to medium after placing the meatballs in the pan.

Check the meatballs in the center of the pan for cooking progress, as they may cook unevenly.

Ensure the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F to confirm they are fully cooked.

Remove the meatballs from the pan and place them on a plate.
