Time 45m

Yield s: 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 loaf pumpernickel or sourdough bread
1 cup milk
2 pounds ground beef
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
4 round tablespoons prepared horseradish
6 cloves garlic, grated or made into a paste
1 egg
2 tablespoons EVOO
1 bottle amber ale (tangy and sweeter) or Guinness (bitter)
One 10-ounce can beef consomme
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 bunch watercress, stemmed

Steps:

  • Cut two 1-inch-thick slices of bread and soak them in the milk to soften.
  • Combine the beef, Worcestershire sauce and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Squeeze the excess liquid from the bread, then crumble it into small pieces between your fingers as you add it to the beef. Add the parsley, 2 tablespoons horseradish, the garlic and egg. Mix until just combined, then form into 2 1/2-inch balls.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or large, wide heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the EVOO to the hot skillet, then cook the meatballs until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the beer and cook for 1 minute to reduce it slightly. Add the consomme, cover the skillet with foil and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, toast the remaining loaf bread in the oven.
  • Combine the sour cream, chives, heavy cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons horseradish in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the meatballs among plates and garnish with the watercress. Serve with the sour cream dipping sauce and hunks of toasted bread.

This recipe is a fail. The meatballs were dry and the sauce was watery.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The meatballs were a bit bland and the sauce was a bit too thin.

I found that the meatballs were a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid to the sauce next time.

I'm not a big fan of horseradish, but I still really enjoyed these meatballs. The sauce was so flavorful and the meatballs were so tender.

These meatballs were absolutely delicious! The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the horseradish gave it a nice kick. I served them over mashed potatoes and they were a hit with my family.
