Step 2: Sear the meatballs
Meatballs
- cooking oilfor searing
- formed meatballs
Set a pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil to the pan, and arrange the meatballs in neatly. until on the bottom, then rotate each meatball.
- I shoot for at least 3 “sides” or areas of the meatball to be well browned.
Once they are mostly browned on multiple sides, remove them from the pan and set aside. They shouldn’t be fully cooked through at this point. They need to finish cooking in the sauce in a later step.
