Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, milk, egg, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix equally with your hands until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for convenience.
Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Brown the meatballs for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of flour to the remaining fat; cook for a minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in heavy cream and allow it to thicken while you add the meatballs back to the skillet.
- Return meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Let them simmer for another 5-10 minutes until cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm over mashed potatoes or pasta.
Notes
Halal-friendly substitutions include ground turkey or chicken. Ensure to give meatballs space in the skillet while browning. Avoid overworking the meat mixture to keep them tender.
