Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 80 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters Beef broth
- 200 grams Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. You should have around 18-20 meatballs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the browned meatballs and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Slowly whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the sour cream and Dijon mustard. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, making sure they are fully submerged in the sauce. Cover and let them simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
