venison meatballs 😋
Disclaimer: my husband is not a fan of venison and he LOVED these. My one year old ate this whole bowl plus some! You could totally use beef though.
Normally you would mix some ground pork with your venison, I didn’t have any, so I added a couple of eggs and a spoon of mayo to add some fat since ground venison is super lean. I also added chives, ginger, salt, soy sauce, and sweet Thai chili sauce and mixed it all up. Threw in enough bread crumbs to get a workable texture, then formed meatballs and seared them in a hot pan.
Remove seared meatballs from the pan and put in beef broth, more chives, salt, soy, chili sauce, and lemongrass. Bring it to a simmer, add the meatballs back in. I was using my cast iron that didn’t have a lid so I put the whole pan in the oven at 350 to finish cooking but you could totally finish it on the stove. Serve over rice with veggies and extra broth!
