Gourmet Meatballs in a Rich Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef
⅓ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Mushroom Gravy:
1 tablespoon butter
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, diced
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Prepare the Meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined. Shape the mixture into meatballs.
Cook the Meatballs: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides until they are golden brown. Once browned, remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.
Make the Mushroom Gravy: In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion, cooking until they soften and become golden brown.
Thicken the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom and onion mixture, stirring to combine. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste
.
Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly, followed by the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Stir until the sauce thickens.
Simmer the Meatballs: Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked.
Season and Serve: Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the meatballs with the rich mushroom gravy poured over the top.
