Ingredients

MEATBALLS

1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 egg beaten
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

SAUCE

1 cup beef stock
1 cup heavy cream
3 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp soy sauce
Cooked noodles, for serving, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Mix the breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl and let soak for a few minutes.
Place the ground beef and pork in a large bowl. Add the egg, salt, pepper, and breadcrumb mixture. Mix with a large spoon (or clean hands).
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs, and place the balls on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, whisk the beef stock, cream, flour, and soy sauce in a large saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sauce is creamy and thick, about 10 minutes.
Add the meatballs to the pan, and coat them in the sauce. Cook until the meatballs are hot. Serve over noodles, if you like.
