Beef Croquettes

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked beef, shredded
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. 1

   In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil and cook 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic until soft, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add 2 cups shredded beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes until heated through. Set aside to cool.

3. 3

   In a saucepan, bring 1 cup milk and 1 cup flour to a simmer, stirring constantly until a thick dough forms, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly.

4. 4

   Shape the dough into small balls, flatten, and place a spoonful of beef filling in the center. Seal and form into croquette shapes.

5. 5

   Dip each croquette in 2 beaten eggs, then coat with 1.5 cups breadcrumbs.

6. 6

   Heat 2 cups oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
