Step 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.
Step 2
Add 2 cups shredded beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes until heated through. Set aside to cool.
Step 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.
Step 4
Shape the dough into small balls, flatten, and place a spoonful of beef filling in the center. Seal and form into croquette shapes.
Step 5
Dip each croquette in 2 beaten eggs, then coat with 1.5 cups breadcrumbs.
Step 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.
