Step 1
Mix ground beef, minced onion, minced chili, flour, and tomato paste in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 2
Form mixture into 8 balls about the size of golf balls, then gently flatten each into a thick puck.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Add frikkadels to the pan without crowding—work in batches if needed. Sear 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5
Transfer cooked frikkadels to a plate. Stir hot sauce into any pan drippings, then drizzle over the frikkadels.
Step 6
Serve hot with the sauce, a squeeze of lemon, and crusty bread or rice.
