Prepare risotto by cooking arborio rice in chicken broth until creamy and al dente.

Allow risotto to cool completely before handling.

Mix in mozzarella, parmesan, and the beef & herb mixture into the cooled risotto.

Shape the risotto mixture into balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Dredge each ball in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip each ball into whisked eggs, ensuring full coverage.

Coat each ball in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the arancini in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove arancini and drain on paper towels.
