Ingredients
For the Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped in a food processor
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
For the Gravy
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 Tbsp flour
- 3 cups beef stock
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 Tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and milk, then let the mixture sit for a few minutes until softened. Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, finely chopped onion, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and pepper, then gently mix until just combined.
-
Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs using lightly oiled hands. Place the meatballs onto a tray and prepare a skillet with olive oil over medium heat.
-
Brown the meatballs in batches until deeply golden on all sides, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer the browned meatballs to a plate while finishing the remaining batches.
-
In the same skillet, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for about a minute, then gradually whisk in the beef stock until the gravy becomes smooth and thickened.
-
Return the meatballs to the skillet and spoon the gravy over them evenly. Let the meatballs simmer gently in the sauce until fully cooked through and tender.
-
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the gravy becomes creamy and silky. Avoid boiling after adding the sour cream to maintain a smooth texture.
-
Finish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for brightness and color. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or your favorite side dish.
