Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/2 cup finely diced onion
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion sliced
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef breadcrumbs egg diced onion garlic Worcestershire sauce salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into evenly sized meatballs.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet add sliced onion and cook until softened and lightly caramelized about 5 minutes.
4. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir continuously for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
5. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring to create a smooth gravy. Simmer until thickened about 3 to 5 minutes.
6. Return meatballs to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until meatballs are fully cooked and tender.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm over mashed potatoes rice or noodles.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the meat mixture as this can make the meatballs dense instead of tender. Mix just until combined for the best texture.
