Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 3.5 ounces breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 5 tablespoons whole milk
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter (1.4 ounces)
  • 3 tablespoons plain flour (1.4 ounces)
  • 5 ounces vegetable stock
  • 5 ounces beef stock
  • 5 ounces heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl, add beef and pork; mix thoroughly to break up any lumps. Add finely chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg, and mix to combine. Add milk, and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Shape mixture into small, round balls. Place on a clean plate, cover and store in the fridge for 2 hours (to help them hold their shape while cooking).
  • In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. When hot, gently add meatballs and brown on all sides.
  • When browned, add to an ovenproof dish and cover. Place in a hot oven, 350°F. or 180°C., and baked for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a frying pan. Whisk in the plain flour and continue cooking, stirring continuously for 2 minutes.
  • Slowly add in vegetable stock and beef stock, whisking continuously. Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce and Dijon mustard.
  • Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken. Continue to stir.
  • When ready to eat, serve with your favorite potatoes or noodles.
