Step-by-Step Guide
Mix Meatballs: In a large bowl, mix breadcrumbs and milk; let sit for 5 minutes. Add ground meats, onion, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and allspice. Mix gently with your hands until combined (don't overwork).Shape and Cook: Roll into small, ping-pong-sized balls. Heat a tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs on all sides (do this in batches). Remove meatballs and set aside
Make Roux: Reduce heat in the same skillet. Add butter. Once melted, whisk in flour. Cook for 1 minute, scraping up browned bits from the meatballs.
Make Gravy: Slowly whisk in beef broth to avoid lumps. Simmer until thickened. Stir in heavy cream, soy sauce, and mustard.
Finish: Return meatballs to the gravy, cover, and simmer on low for 10 minutes until meatballs are cooked through. Serve with lingonberry jam or cranberry sauce.
