These Classic Beef Rissoles are a comforting, home-style dish that’s easy to make and full of flavor. Packed with ground beef, herbs, and spices, they’re crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Serve with mashed potatoes, a fresh salad, or veggies for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (or panko)
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp ketchup or tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (or 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mixture:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the rissoles tender.

2. Shape the Rissoles:

  1. Divide the mixture into equal portions (about 8-10).
  2. Shape each portion into a flat patty, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

3. Cook the Rissoles:

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the rissoles to the skillet, leaving enough space to flip them easily.
  3. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. (Internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C.)

4. Serve:

  1. Transfer the cooked rissoles to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
  2. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Make It Juicier: Add a tablespoon of grated carrot or zucchini to the mixture for extra moisture and nutrients.
  • Freezing Option: Shape the rissoles and freeze them on a tray. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • Sauce Pairing: Serve with a side of gravy, barbecue sauce, or a dollop of ketchup for added flavor.
