Description
Simple recipe for savory meatballs made in the style of Salisbury steak, served with a brown gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Form the mixture into about 16 small meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Brown the meatballs on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove meatballs and set aside.
- Pour off excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
- Whisk flour into the remaining fat in the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring until the gravy thickens slightly.
- Stir in Dijon mustard.
- Return the meatballs to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
Notes
- You can substitute panko bread crumbs for regular bread crumbs.
- For a richer gravy, use low-sodium beef broth.
