1 lb. ground sirloin
2 eggs

1/2 cup of whole milk
1/2 cup of locatelli cheese

3/4 cup of plain bread crumb

optional...(soak day old italian bread in milk instead of using breadcrumbs)

1 tablespoon of fresh basil or a few leaves if not dry
a pinch of salt and pepper

MIXING THE INGREDIENTS

In a large stainless steel mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix by hand, by mixing it this way you do not displace the fat in the meat making for a tender meatball.

FRYING THE MEAT

In a large skillet with olive oil, brown each side of the meatball, then reduce the heat to finish the meat.
