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.
