beef balls
Ground cattle rounds
Beef balls are small, round meatballs made from ground beef, commonly found in Southeast Asian and Chinese cuisines.
They appear in noodle soups, hot pot, and skewered as street food: The pho came with sliced brisket and beef balls.
The texture is typically dense and springy from being pounded or processed until the proteins bind tightly.
