Gourmet Salisbury Steak Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Shape the mixture into meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides for 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Gradually whisk in beef broth and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Add mushrooms and thyme, cooking until mushrooms are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, spooning sauce over them. Simmer for 10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving
