Ingredients
Main Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion (grated)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Main Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, grated onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Roll into 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
- Browning: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5–7 minutes total. Remove and set aside.
- Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add sliced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Bring to a simmer.
- Cooking: Return meatballs to the skillet. Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serving: Serve warm with mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
Notes
- You can make the meatballs ahead and freeze them.
- For a richer gravy, substitute 1/4 cup of the broth with dry red wine.
- Mushrooms can also be added with the onions for extra flavor.
