Steps

1In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, egg, finely minced onion, milk, salt, and pepper; mix gently to combine.
2Roll the mixture into small, uniform meatballs.
3Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then brown the meatballs in batches, removing them as they cook.
4In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, then whisk in the flour to form a roux, cooking for 1 minute.
5Gradually whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream, bringing the gravy to a simmer until it thickens.
6Return the meatballs to the gravy, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until cooked through, then serve immediately.
