Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef
• 250 g Ground pork
• 100 g Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 60 ml Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 50 g, grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 tbsp Gluten-free flour
• 500 ml Beef broth
• 30 g Butter
• 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit for 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk and become soft.

Step 3

Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

Step 4

Shape the meat mixture into 16 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned meatballs back to the baking sheet or oven-safe skillet.

Step 6

Transfer the meatballs to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

While the meatballs are baking, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the gluten-free flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant.

Step 8

Gradually whisk in the beef broth, stirring constantly to remove any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 10

Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to a serving dish and pour the hot gravy over them. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
