Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup (54 g) plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Gravy

  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups (24 ounces) beef broth
  • 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, dry mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
  • Roll the mixture into 1 ½-inch meatballs. (I made 16 meatballs.)
  • To a large skillet over medium heat, add butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer. (Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to cook the meatballs in batches.) Sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, turning to brown evenly. Once browned, transfer the meatballs to a plate. (The meatballs may not be fully cooked at this point; they will continue to cook in the gravy.)
  • To the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Reduce heat and cook over medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown.
  • Increase heat to medium. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to avoid clumps. Let the gravy simmer for 8-10 minutes to thicken.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return the meatballs to the skillet, spooning gravy over them. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to ensure the meatballs are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Garnish with parsley. Serve hot over mashed potatoes.
