Beef Rissoles

Cultural Context

Beef rissoles are a beloved staple in Australian cuisine, often enjoyed as a hearty meal or at barbecues. These savory patties are made with simple ingredients, showcasing the country's love for beef and home-cooked comfort food. Traditionally served with sides like mashed potatoes or salad, they are a versatile dish that can be adapted with various spices and fillings. Today, rissoles have gained popularity beyond Australia, with many variations found in different cultures around the world.

1

Soak white bread pieces in water to soften in a large mixing bowl. Then squeeze out and drain as much liquid as possible.

2

Sprinkle over French onion soup mix and add the egg and beef mince over soaked bread and use your hands to mix well until ingredients are well combined. Optional: Add grated carrot and onion and mix through.

3

Form mince rissoles - any size you like. You can do them as small as meatballs or as big as burger patties depending on your preference. A good medium size is around 100 g / 3.5 oz per rissole.

4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan, skillet or BBQ. Add the rissoles and cook for 3-5 minutes each side until cooked through. Optional: Flatten them out a little with a spatula and tip them on their sides for a minute to seal if you like.
