Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Skillet
  • ice cream scoop

Ingredients
  

Meatballs

  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs (Note 1)
  • 500 g beef mince (ground beef)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 piece egg
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup (or Aussie tomato sauce)
  • 1 cube beef bouillon (crumbled, Note 2)
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 teaspoon dijon mustard (OR 2 teaspoon dry mustard powder)

Cooking meatballs

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Sautéed mushrooms

  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 250 g mushrooms (sliced)
  • ¼ teaspoon cooking/kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Gravy

  • 2 cups beef stock (low sodium)
  • ¼ teaspoon cooking/kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Gravy thickener (slurry)

  • 3 tablespoon flour (all purpose/plain)
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Serving

  • Mashed potato (or rice or pasta)
  • Parsley (finely chopped, optional)

Instructions
 

Meatballs

  • Place the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Using a standard box grater, grate the onion over the panko so it soaks in. Mix through.
  • Add remaining Meatball ingredients and mix well with your hands until thoroughly combined.
  • Roll 20 to 22 balls (1 ½ tablespoons of mixture). I use an ice cream scoop with lever, handy!

Cooking

  • Mix ingredients in a bowl until smooth. We will use this to thicken the gravy (no lumpy gravy, yay!)
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook meatballs, using tablespoons to roll (to minimise deforming) until browned on the outside but still raw inside. Remove onto a plate and set aside.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet still on high. Cook mushrooms until they start to soften (~ 2 minutes). Add salt, pepper and the garlic, then cook for a further 2 minutes until the garlic is golden and mushrooms are soft.
  • Add beef stock, salt, pepper and slurry, then stir to combine.
  • Once the liquid starts to simmer, add meatballs and any juices pooled on the plate. Adjust heat to medium so it's simmering gently and cook for 5 minutes until gravy is thickened and meatballs are cooked through.
  • Serve over mash sprinkled with parsley if desired.

Notes

Panko breadcrumbs make meatballs more tender inside. Bouillon cubes add better flavor compared to plain salt. LEFTOVERS can be stored for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, or frozen.
