Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef (lean) Use lean ground beef for less fat.
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (Panko)
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 0.25 cup mustard (coarse grain)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For frying.
  • 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Or cornstarch for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup beef broth Or chicken broth, low sodium or no sodium added.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped) For garnish.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, add all the meatball ingredients (excluding the olive oil) and mix them well using your hands.
  • Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs, about 30 in total.

Cooking

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium to high heat.
  • Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides. You may need to fry them in batches if your skillet is not large enough.
  • Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the chopped onion. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onion and stir for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Add the beef broth and remaining gravy ingredients to the skillet. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens.
  • Once the gravy is ready, add the meatballs back to the skillet and gently toss them in the gravy.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
