Title: Indonesian Beef Meatballs (Bakso Sapi)

Ingredients

  • 1 kg beef, finely minced
  • 15 ice cubes
  • 12 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • 4 packets beef bouillon powder
  • 5 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 egg whites

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely minced beef with ice cubes, tapioca flour, beef bouillon powder, minced garlic, and baking powder. Using a food processor or meat grinder, blend the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well-combined.

  2. Boil the Water:
    Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. Form the Meatballs:
    Once the mixture is well blended, form the beef mixture into small balls. The size can be adjusted based on your preference, but traditionally, they are about the size of a golf ball.

  4. Cook the Meatballs:
    Carefully drop the formed meatballs into the boiling water. Cook them until they float to the surface, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes. This indicates that they are fully cooked.

  5. Serve:
    Remove the meatballs from the pot using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish. Enjoy your Bakso Sapi hot, either on its own or as part of a soup or noodle dish.


Feel free to adjust the seasoning to taste or serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy this delicious Indonesian treat!
