The BEST Greek Meatball Recipe Keftedes under the Broiler
These delicious Greek meatballs, also known as keftedes are packed with flavor. They’re light, juicy, and simply delicious. Super easy to make and they freeze beautifully. In this recipe, I cooked them under the broiler instead of pan-frying and saved myself a lot of cleanup. Make a double or even triple batch of these to have on hand for those busy days.
Print the recipe:
2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion
4 garlic cloves
1 and 1/2 cups Panko bread crumbs
1 cup whole milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
1 bunch fresh parsley, thick stems removed
2-2 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or more
olive oil for brushing on top
Instructions
Add the garlic cloves to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Cut the onion into quarters and add it to the food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, not ground.
Place the ground beef into a large mixing bowl. Add the onion and garlic.
Cut the bottom stems off of the parsley and add the parsley to the food processor. Save the stems for stock. Pulse until finely chopped and add the parsley to the mixing bowl.
Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the oil. Knead together until incorporated.
Form the meatballs and place them onto baking trays. Walnut sized (or golf ball sized) meatballs will yield about 60.
Brush the tops of the meatballs with olive oil.
Set the oven to the Broil setting and place an oven rack on the top section so that it is closest to the broiler element.
Place the tray under the broiler and cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
Serve with tzatziki or marinara sauce or use the meatballs in your favorite recipe. Enjoy and kali orexi!
