Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 small onion (finely grated)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs and milk; let sit for 5 minutes. Add ground beef, grated onion, egg, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Combine gently.
  2. Shape the Meatballs: Form small meatballs (about 1 inch) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Cook the Meatballs: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté half of the meatballs until golden brown (8-10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  4. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter and whisk in flour for about 2 minutes. Gradually add beef broth while stirring. Stir in heavy cream and soy sauce, season with salt and pepper.
  5. Combine Everything: Return meatballs to the skillet; simmer for about 10 minutes until flavors meld.
