Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, diced onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper, allspice, and nutmeg. Stir until just combined, ensuring not to overmix for tender meatballs.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and arrange them on a baking tray.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs, cooking for about 8–10 minutes until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually add the beef broth, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom, and simmer until thickened.
- Stir in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, simmering in the gravy for an additional 5 minutes.
