Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the meatball mixture by combining the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and allspice in a large bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small, 1-inch meatballs and place them on a plate.
  3. Cook the meatballs in a skillet with heated oil until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Make the roux by melting butter in the same skillet and whisking in flour for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Whisk in beef broth gradually until smooth, then bring to a simmer.
  6. Thicken the sauce by reducing heat and simmering for 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Coat the meatballs in the sauce, then simmer for another 5 minutes.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
