Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Dutch Oven
Ingredients
Meatballs:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion grated
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
- 1 large egg
Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 pint sliced mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon fresh Thyme leaves
- Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups low sodium beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
- For the meatballs, in a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, panko, garlic, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of salt and pepper, and egg until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly and form into 1-inch balls.
- Set a large dutch oven over moderate heat. Once hot, drizzle with oil and add the meatballs in a single layer, taking care not to over-crowd the pan. You might have to do this in batches. Cook until the meatballs have browned on all sides. You're not looking to cook them all the way at this point, just browning them. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and stir in the onion, garlic and mushrooms. Cook until they've just started to brown and have softened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and the thyme. Add the butter and cook until melted through. Stir in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds or so. Whisk in the broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and a small pinch of salt and lots of black pepper.
- Return the meatballs to the pan and give it a good stir. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the meatballs have cooked through and the gravy has thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve with a garnish of fresh chives on top and enjoy!
