Savory Swedish meatballs served with creamy sauce.
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 250 g ground pork
- 1 unit onion
- 100 g bread crumbs
- 100 ml milk
- 1 unit egg
- 50 g butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 300 ml beef broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
How to make Köttbullar
- Finely chop 1 onion and sauté it in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine 400 g ground beef, 400 g ground pork, the sautéed onion, 100 g bread crumbs, 100 ml milk, 1 egg, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Form the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of golf balls, by rolling them in your hands.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat and add the meatballs, frying them until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- Once browned, remove the meatballs from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour into the remaining fat in the pan, stirring for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and combined.
- Slowly pour in 500 ml of beef broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps, allowing the sauce to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Return the meatballs to the pan, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 10 minutes to absorb flavors before serving.
