Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 250 g Ground pork
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 60 g Bread crumbs
- 50 ml Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 15 g Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 30 g All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 30 g Butter
- 500 ml Beef stock
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Plain flour (for sauce)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, onion, bread crumbs, milk, egg, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs roughly the size of a golf ball. This recipe will yield approximately 16-18 meatballs.
Lightly dust the meatballs with all-purpose flour to help them brown evenly during cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the meatballs and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Stir in the plain flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
Gradually pour in the beef stock while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, making sure they are coated in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat, allowing the meatballs to cook through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the Yorkshire meatballs with the rich brown sauce alongside creamy mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or crusty bread.
