Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 finely chopped medium onion, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large beaten egg, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Step 2: Shape the mixture into 6 even patties about 3/4-inch thick.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the rissoles and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes. Simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld.
Step 5: Serve the beef rissoles hot with the tomato relish spooned on top or on the side.
