Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or beef/pork mix)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 small onion (finely grated or minced)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for browning)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/2 to 1 cup heavy cream (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Soak the breadcrumbs in a large bowl with milk for 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Add ground meat, grated onion, egg, salt, pepper, allspice, and nutmeg to the bowl; mix gently until just combined.
  3. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1½ tablespoons each.
  4. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and heat olive oil; brown meatballs in batches.
  5. Add butter to the pot, pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard; scrape the bottom to deglaze.
  6. Return meatballs to the pot, seal the lid, and cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes.
  7. Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  8. Mix cornstarch with cold water and stir into the sauce; simmer 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
  9. Stir in heavy cream and heat gently until smooth and creamy.
  10. Serve meatballs hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice; garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Make sure not to overcrowd the pot when browning the meatballs. Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more or less cornstarch.
