Instructions
MEATBALLS:
- Grated onion – Place the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Using a standard box grater, grate the onion over the panko so it soaks in. Mix through.
- Meatball mixture – Add remaining Meatball ingredients and mix well with your hands until thoroughly combined.
- Roll balls – Roll 20 to 22 balls (1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture).
COOKING:
- Gravy thickener – Mix ingredients in a bowl until smooth. We will use this to thicken the gravy
- Brown meatballs – 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.
- Sauté mushrooms – 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.
- Make gravy – Add beef stock, salt, pepper then stir to combine.
- Simmer meatballs – 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 with mash potato
