Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together beef, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, and Worcestershire sauce without adding salt. Form into 4 large meatballs and flatten into discs; refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Notes
For the best flavor, let the meat mixture rest in the fridge before cooking.
