• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

2 lb. (900g) Ground Beef and Pork

2 Garlic Cloves

1 Onion

1 tsp Salt

1/3 tsp Black pepper

1 Egg

1/2 Cup Milk

4 tbsp Breadcrumbs

4 tbsp. (70g) Butter

2 tbsp Flour

2 cups Beef Stock/Broth or Water

1/4 tsp Salt

1/3 tsp Black Pepper

1 tsp Dijon Mustard

1 tbsp Soy sauce

1/2 cup Heavy cream

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with garlic, onion, egg, milk, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Gently mix everything together with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Shape into about 24 smaller meatballs or 16 larger ones.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the meatballs in batches so they have enough space to brown. Turn them gently as they cook until golden on all sides, then transfer to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Let it cook briefly until lightly golden. Slowly whisk in the beef broth until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens and looks creamy, coating the back of a spoon.

Return the meatballs to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Let everything simmer together for a few minutes so the meatballs absorb some of the flavor. Finish with parsley and serve warm.
