👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- 2
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
- 3
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, turning to brown all sides. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.
- 4
In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
- 5
Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring, until the sauce begins to thicken.
- 6
Stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce (if using). Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- 7
Return the browned meatballs to the skillet with the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is rich and creamy.
💡 Professionelle Tips
