For the meatballs:
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
5 tbsp. whole milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

For the cream sauce:
3 tbsp. butter
5 tbsp. flour
5 oz. vegetable stock
5 oz. beef stock
5 oz. heavy cream
2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. Dijon mustard

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine the ground beef and pork, and break up any lumps. Add onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and milk, then season well with salt and pepper.
Scoop out mixture and roll into meatballs, about 2 tablespoons each. Cover and store the meatballs in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear meatballs on each side until evenly browned.
Transfer the meatballs to a baking tray and place them in the oven at 350°F. Bake for 30 minutes.
While the meatballs firm up in the fridge, prepare the cream sauce. Start by melting butter in a small saucepan, then whisk in flour, stirring continuously for 2 minutes.
Add vegetable and beef stock and continue to stir before adding cream, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard.
Simmer the sauce until fully thickened, then pour over the cooked meatballs.
Serve with a side of mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
