Turn veal mixture into a bowl and add beef. Mix with a spatula, by hand, until uniform. You do not want the beef integrated with the TM as that would affect the texture.

Step 9 of 12
10

Shape into 1 inch (2.5 cm) meatballs.

Step 10 of 12
11

Heat oil in a large frying pan (I use a #12 cast iron pan). Adjust the amount of oil based on the width of the pan. Heat oil to 350F (175 C) and place balls in one at a time. Fry for about 7 minutes till brown all around, turning as needed.

Remove with a slotted spoon or spyder

Step 11 of 12
12

For an appetizer, place balls in sauce and serve. In picture, I made pasta, tossed the pasta with the sauce, and served the meatballs on top. Nice variation from the Italian version.
