Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 250 g Ground pork
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 60 ml Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 small Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (for frying)
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 500 ml Beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic, onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
Form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on a plate or tray.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove the meatballs and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the butter. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Slowly add the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, and bring to a simmer.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce and heavy cream, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, spoon the gravy over them, cover, and let simmer gently for 20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the gravy has thickened.
Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
