These super tender Swedish meatballs topped with gravy are a better version of those you’ll find at your favorite Swedish “everything” store. The Anova Precision Oven’s steam mode keeps these meatballs moist and delicious every time. You can pair this dish with the in-app recipe for mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam, red currant jam, or cranberry sauce. Serve with a side of quick-pickled cucumber slices. Note: This recipe makes 36 small meatballs, which serves six.

Steps

1. Preheat the Oven

2. Make Meatball Mixture

First, make the meatballs. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium meat. When the butter is foamy, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the ground pork, ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper.

3. Hand Mix

Using your hands, gently combine all ingredients until fully blended and smooth.

4. Scoop and Shape

Use a small scoop to portion out 36 small meatballs and transfer to a foil-lined rimmed sheet pan. Use damp hands to roll the balls until smooth.

8. Start the Gravy

When the meatballs are finished, make the gravy. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. When the butter is foamy, whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture has lightened in color and turned very foamy, about 3 minutes.

9. Add Stock

Gradually whisk in the stock, followed by the Worcestershire and mustard.

10. Add Cream

Whisk in the cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. The gravy will be thick. Remove from the heat and add the meatballs. Toss to coat in the gravy.

11. Serve

Divide the meatballs between serving plates with mashed potatoes, a fruit jam, and quick-pickled cucumbers.
