Method
Follow each step in order. Ingredient names are highlighted as you go.
- 01
Melt the unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat, then stir in the all-purpose flour. Cook briefly until the flour loses its raw smell but does not brown.
- 02
Gradually whisk in the warmed beef stock until smooth and thick.
- 03
Add the ground beef, fresh parsley, nutmeg powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring often, until the beef reaches 71°C (160°F) and the mixture is very thick and holds its shape.
- 04
Spread the ragout onto a tray or shallow dish and let it cool completely, then chill until firm.
- 05
Shape the chilled ragout into croquettes. Roll each one in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and cover it with the breadcrumbs.
- 06
Heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the croquettes in batches until deep golden and crisp and the center reaches 74°C (165°F).
- 07
Drain briefly on paper and serve hot with mustard.
