Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 250 grams Ground pork
• 80 grams Breadcrumbs
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters Beef broth
• 200 grams Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.

Step 2

Shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. You should have around 18-20 meatballs.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the browned meatballs and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the sour cream and Dijon mustard. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, making sure they are fully submerged in the sauce. Cover and let them simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
