To ensure that the beef meatballs you make have a chewy texture and do not easily break apart, follow these steps correctly:

Transfer the ground beef into a large bowl. Add tapioca flour, baking powder, egg whites, minced garlic, salt, pepper, powdered broth, and granulated sugar.

Mix well using your hands or a mixer on low speed until all the ingredients are perfectly combined.

To make the dough denser and easier to shape, let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

4. Shape the Meatballs

Heat water in a pot until it is nearly boiling (do not let it boil completely).

Take the meatball dough, then shape it into balls using your hands or a spoon. Drop them into the hot water one by one.

5. Boil Until Cooked

Cook the meatballs over low heat until all the meatballs float to the surface. This indicates that the meatballs are perfectly cooked. Remove and drain.
