Time 55m

Yield approximately 30 meatballs, 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 slices fresh white bread
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons clarified butter, divided
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
A pinch plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 pound ground chuck
3/4 pound ground pork
2 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups beef broth
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Tear the bread into pieces and place in a small mixing bowl along with the milk. Set aside.
  • In a 12-inch straight sided saute pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sweat until the onions are soft. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the bread and milk mixture, ground chuck, pork, egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and onions. Beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Using a scale, weigh meatballs into 1-ounce portions and place on a sheet pan. Using your hands, shape the meatballs into rounds.

  • Once all of the meatballs are cooked, decrease the heat to low and add the flour to the pan or skillet. Whisk until lightly browned, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat. Ground beef chuck or ground pork shoulder are great options for meatballs, as they are flavorful and have a good fat content.
  • Use fresh bread crumbs. Stale bread crumbs will make your meatballs dry and crumbly. If you don't have fresh bread crumbs on hand, you can make your own by toasting slices of bread in the oven and then grinding them in a food processor.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Brown the meatballs before simmering them. Browning the meatballs will give them a nice crust and help to keep them moist. To brown the meatballs, cook them in a skillet over medium heat until they are browned on all sides.
  • Simmer the meatballs in a flavorful sauce. A good sauce will add flavor and moisture to the meatballs. You can use a variety of sauces, such as tomato sauce, cream sauce, or barbecue sauce.
  • Serve the meatballs hot. Meatballs are best served hot, so make sure to cook them through before serving.

Conclusion:

Meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious meatballs that will be a hit with your family and friends.
