Homemade meatballs

400g beef mince

1 egg

1 large onion, finely chopped or processed in a food processor

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

1 Tbsp Worcester sauce

salt, pepper

 Mix all the ingredients really well.

Roll with your wet hands the mince mixture into about 20-24 meatballs.

Add 3–4 tablespoons of olive oil to a hot pan. Brown the meatballs all over, but be careful not to break them up.

Transfer the meatballs into a roasting dish and cook in the oven for about 10-15 minutes.

For the sauce:

1 Tbsp flour

1 Tbsp butter

1 cup beef stock

1/2 cup cream

1 tbsp soy sauce

pepper to taste

In a skillet, melt butter. When butter is melted, sprinkle flour into skillet. Stir to make a smooth roux.

Add beef stock, stirring to keep the sauce smooth. Add cream. Add soy sauce. Season to taste.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and allow to simmer until desired consistency. Serve alongside meatballs.
