Instrucțiuni

Combine

In a large bowl combine ground beef and pork; mix with your hands, breaking up any lumps. Mix in all the other meatball ingredients (except the olive oil) until combined.

Shape

Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1½-inch balls, kneading a few times to ensure they don't crumble. (Place on a clean platter, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, if possible—this helps them retain their round shape when cooking.)

Cook

In a large nonstick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid crowding, add the meatballs and cook turning continuously until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining meatballs. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.

Add the butter to the skillet and once melted, whisk in the flour; stir to combine and cook stirring constantly for about 1 minute until no white patches of flour remain and just begins to brown.

Whisk

Slowly whisk in the beef broth and then the heavy cream, stirring the entire time until lump-free. Whisk in the soy sauce and mustard; turn down the heat to a gentle simmer and let the sauce thicken, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the cooked meatballs back to the skillet and simmer for another 3 minutes to finish cooking and warm through.

Serve over cooked egg noodles with a sprinkle of parsley.
