Gluten-Free Bitterballen with Mustard Dip

Ingredients

• 1 lb Cooked Beef
• 1 cup Beef Broth
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 1/4 cup Gluten-Free Flour
• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup Mustard
• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1Finely chop or grind the 1 lb Cooked Beef. In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/4 cup Butter over medium heat. Whisk in the 1/4 cup Gluten-Free Flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute until it forms a paste.
2. 2Gradually whisk in the 1 cup Beef Broth. Continue to stir constantly and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the mixture has thickened to a paste-like consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
3. 3Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the chopped 1 lb Cooked Beef. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This chilling step is important to make the mixture firm enough to shape.
4. 4Once the beef mixture is completely cold and firm, use your hands to roll it into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the 1 Egg. Place the 1 cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
5. 5Dip each beef ball first into the beaten 1 Egg, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the 1 cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Place the coated balls on a clean plate.
6. 6Heat the 2 cups Vegetable Oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower the coated bitterballen into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. 7Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried bitterballen from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining bitterballen.
8. 8While the bitterballen are draining, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup Mustard and the 1/4 cup Mayonnaise until well combined.
9. 9Serve the hot, crispy bitterballen immediately with the prepared mustard dip on the side.
