Certainly! Here’s a revised version of the recipe for “Baso Sapi” tailored for Love With Recipes:

Savory Beef Meatballs (Baso Sapi)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound beef, finely ground
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup tapioca flour
• Ice-cold water, as needed
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Mixture: Begin by placing the finely ground beef into a food processor. Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Process until the beef is well-seasoned and smooth.

2. Incorporate the Egg: Add the large egg to the beef mixture, blending it in thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and slightly creamy.

3. Add Tapioca Flour: Gradually incorporate the tapioca flour into the beef mixture. This step helps bind the ingredients together and gives the meatballs their characteristic texture. Blend until the flour is fully combined and the mixture is slightly sticky.

4. Adjust Consistency: Slowly add ice-cold water to the mixture, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. The mixture should be smooth and easy to shape but not too wet.

5. Shape the Meatballs: With your hands or a scoop, form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.

6. Cook: The meatballs can be boiled in water or broth until they are fully cooked and have a firm texture. Alternatively, they can be pan-fried until golden brown on the outside and cooked through.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the savory beef meatballs hot with your choice of dipping sauces, in soups, or as part of a larger dish.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can add finely chopped garlic or onions to the beef mixture.
• Ensure the water is ice-cold to help maintain the texture of the meatballs.
