Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the sautéing onion for a short time.

5

In a bowl, combine 500 g of ground beef with half of the sautéed onion and the raw half of the onion.

9

Season the mixture with 1.5 teaspoons of salt and 25 cracks of black pepper.

Form the mixture into meatballs using a tablespoon measure, making them rustic and uneven if desired.

12

Prepare to sauté the meatballs by heating more oil and butter in the griddle.

Add the meatballs to the griddle, cooking them slowly to achieve a nice crust while keeping them juicy.

14

Once browned, move the meatballs to the edge of the griddle to keep warm.
