Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup steel cut oats
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 3 to 4 bay leaves
- ½ pound ground beef
- ½ pound ground pork
- 1 cup onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon marjoram
- Pinch of red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Combine the oats, beef broth, water, salt, and bay leaves in a large stock pot. Cook over medium heat until the liquid begins to boil, then reduce heat to low and cook for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When all the liquid has been absorbed by the oats, add the beef, pork, onions, garlic, pepper, sage, paprika, marjoram, and red pepper flakes and stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for one hour, stirring occasionally.
- When all the liquid has been absorbed, remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap and press the meat mixture into the pan. Cover and chill overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove the meat from the loaf pan and slice in ¼ inch thick slices.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add the slices of meat. Cook on one side until golden brown, around 5 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for five to seven minutes, until golden brown.
