Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 1 egg, 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper until just combined. Shape into a thick log about 6 inches long.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the meat log and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the center is no longer pink and reaches 160°F, about 10 minutes more. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 4
Slice the frikadel into thick rounds and serve topped with sliced red chili, chopped green onion, cilantro, and crushed peanuts if desired.
