CourseMain Dish
Keywordbeef, butter, fried ground beef, fried meat, ground beef, lemon juice, pan fried, seafood, soy sauce

Servings4 big meatballs

Prep Time5 minutes

Cook Time35 minutes

Ingredients

Shrimps

150gram shrimpsfrozen or fresh - peeled & deveined - small shrimps or chopped big ones
50gram butter
10milliliter lemon juice
5milliliter soy saucetamari, gluten free
1tablespoon(s) sichuan pepper
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder

Meatball Mixture

500gram ground beef
2 eggs
1teaspoon(s) Salt
Pepper
Cumin
1 onionsdiced

Instructions

Shrimps

First, put the shrimps into a pan on low-medium heat and (if frozen) let them thaw for 2-3 minutes before adding the butter. If you use fresh shrimps add the butter and shrimps simultaneously
Let the shrimps cook in the butter for about 5 minutes, then add all remaining ingredients for the shrimps (lemon juice, soy sauce, sichuan pepper, salt, pepper & a pinch of garlic powder)
Now, stir everything and cook it on low heat for about 10 minutes while stirring occasionally. Cook until the water from the shrimps and butter is evaporated and the shrimps get a light golden brown color

Meatballs

While the shrimps are cooking, prepare the meatball mixture. Add the ground beef, eggs & seasonings to a bowl and mix them thoroughly with your hands or a hand mixer with dough hooks
When you have a homogeneous mixture, add the onions and mix everything once more
Now, split the mixture into 4-5 parts, put them onto a plate or breadboard and gently press them into -about 3/4 cm (or 1/3 inch) thick- patties
When the shrimps are finished, place them in the middle of the beef patties. If you like it a bit spicier add some of the sichuan pepper from the pan, too
Now, wrap the patties' edges to the top until everything is closed and use your hands to gently press them into a ball shape
Finally, fry the meatballs evenly for about 15 minutes on low-medium heat first and 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat afterwards in order to get a nice brown color and some roasting flavor

Recipe Notes

For a dairy free alternative, just replace the butter with coconut oil or lard.

I also added some mayonnaise and an avocado that I sprinkled with some salt & pepper on the side.

If you want a great sauce to go with your meatballs simply add about 150 gram cream to the pan with the remaining grease after frying and taking the meatballs out.
Then, let the cream cook on medium heat while stirring until it is reduced to your desired thickness. This works great with coconut milk/cream, too.
In case you don't want to use cream, slice 2-3 onions and cook them on low-medium heat in the remaining grease until they start to dissolve and everything thickens to a sauce.

Chilidried and ground - or powder

Buttered Vegetables

500gram mixed vegetablesbroccoli, cauliflower, carrots - frozen
100gram butter
Salt
Pepper
Cumin

Instructions

Marinated Pork

First, you need to prepare the marinated pork about 12-24 hours before you want to cook it. Optimally, you do this the previous evening if possible
Put the pork chops into a zip lock bag or a container and add all the ingredients for the marinade.
Massage everything into the meat and store it in the fridge for 12-24 hours. Always close your zip lock bag or container thoroughly before putting it into the fridge
When this waiting period is over, preheat your pan with some lard or coconut oil in it to medium heat
Finally, fry your pork chops for 5-7 minutes on each side until they get a nice brown color

Buttered Vegetables

Before you put the pork chops into the pan, thaw the vegetables in the microwave or just throw them into a pot with just about 50 milliliter of water
Then, add the butter and seasonings, put the lid on and let it cook for about 15 minutes at low-medium heat while stiring occasionally
Now, the pork chops and vegetables should be both finished and you may pour some of the grease from the pan over the vegetables

Recipe Notes

Never pour raw, leftover marinade over the cooked meat.

If you want to use the leftover marinade, make sure to boil it up to kill all harmful bacteria.

Don't marinate in aluminum containers or foil, because a chemical reaction could spoil the food.

The best way to marinate the meat is using the zip lock bag in order for it to be evenly surrounded by the marinade.

For 500 gram of meat, you need about half a cup of marinade.
