Title: Homemade Tender Beef Meatballs (Bakso Sapi) Without Preservatives

Ingredients:

• 250 grams fresh beef
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 egg white
• 5 small ice cube trays (or equivalent small molds)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 5 tablespoons tapioca flour (sagu)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• Salt to taste
• Enough water for boiling (you can use bone broth for added flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meat Mixture:

   • Place the fresh beef, garlic, ice cubes, and vegetable oil into a blender or food processor.
   • Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

2. Incorporate the Seasonings:

   • Add the black pepper, tapioca flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt to the blended beef mixture.
   • Blend again until all ingredients are evenly mixed and the texture is smooth.

3. Form the Meatballs:

   • Use a spoon to shape the mixture into small balls.
   • You can use ice cube trays or small molds to help shape the meatballs evenly.

4. Cook the Meatballs:

   • Bring a pot of water (or bone broth) to a boil.
   • Gently drop the meatballs into the boiling water.
   • Cook until the meatballs float to the surface, indicating they are done.

5. Finish and Serve:

   • Remove the cooked meatballs from the water with a slotted spoon.
   • They are now ready to be used in your favorite dishes or served as is.

Tips:

• For the smoothest texture, ensure the beef is free of any sinew or connective tissue. This will help achieve a finer, more tender meatball.
