The beef meatballs are full of protein, super flavourful and come out very juicy, soft and melt in your mouth.

In a large bowl add all ingredients (except olive oil and marinara sauce) and combine until everything is mixed through. Leave some parsley aside for serving.

3

Shape into 1 inch meatballs.

4

Heat a large pot or skillet over medium high heat.

Sear meatballs in two batches using 1 tablespoon of olive oil each time. Turn the meatballs about 3 times and cook them 2 minutes per side.

Remove from heat and set aside on a plate. Repeat this process until all meatballs are cooked.

7

On the same pot or skillet, add the marinara sauce and deglaze until all of the brown bits from the meat blend into the sauce.
