Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup warm milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the mashed potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook 15–20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain well.
- In a small pan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour over the drained potatoes.
- Add milk, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Cover to keep warm.
- Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, grated onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined.
- Shape into 1½-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- Make the gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter and whisk in flour. Cook for 1 minute until lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened.
- Return meatballs to the skillet and simmer 10–12 minutes, coating them in the gravy until fully cooked.
- Serve the meatballs over garlic herb mashed potatoes, spooning extra gravy over the top. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Tip: For extra richness, deglaze the pan with a splash of beef broth after browning the meatballs.
- Handle the meat mixture gently to keep the meatballs tender.
- Make-ahead option: Assemble meatballs and refrigerate up to 24 hours before cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated 3–4 days and reheated gently.
- To keep mashed potatoes creamier, warm the milk before mixing.
