Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ pound ground pork
- ½ cup bread crumbs or Panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg beaten
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/16 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 2 cups beef stock
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, beaten egg, milk, salt, black pepper, ground allspice, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Mix until well combined and form into 45-48 small meatballs, about 1 inch in size.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the meatballs and brown them on all sides; they don’t need to be fully cooked. Transfer them to a plate and repeat with the remaining meatballs.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter with the meat drippings. Whisk in the flour and white pepper, cooking for 1 minute.
- Gradually add the beef stock, heavy cream, and soy sauce while whisking until the mixture is smooth.
- Once smooth, return the meatballs to the skillet and bring to a gentle boil over medium-low heat. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the meatballs are cooked through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes, garnished with parsley if desired.
