Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Using fresh cloves elevates the dish significantly.
  • 1 number egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Can be substituted with gluten-free alternatives.
  • 1/4 cup milk Almond or oat milk can be great alternatives for dairy-free options.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Can be replaced with soy sauce for a different flavor twist.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For the Sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup cold water Used for thickening the sauce.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well mixed. Avoid overworking the mixture.
  2. Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the meatballs on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, pour in the beef broth, scraping any brown bits from the bottom for added flavor. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and allow it to thicken. Return the meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the gravy.
  4. Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For busy evenings, prep the meatballs in advance and store them in the refrigerator. They can be frozen after forming for future dinners. To reheat leftovers, add a splash of broth to maintain moisture and texture.
