Ready In: 1 hr
Serves: 4
Yields: 4
Ingredients
For meatballs
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground chuck
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
For stroganoff sauce
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 16 ounces button mushrooms, diced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2⁄3 cup dry sherry
- 5 cups chicken broth (or beef broth, but chicken tastes lighter)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill
- 10 ounces sour cream
Directions
- For meatballs: Combine all ingredients in a bowl, form 1” round meatballs, and broil in oven on low broil for 12-15 minutes or until brown and cooked all the way through. You could also cook meatballs in a skillet in olive oil as well. Drain and set aside.
- For stroganoff sauce: Dice the onion and soften in olive oil in a large pot for 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat. Add diced mushrooms and soften another 3 minutes in olive oil on medium heat, stirring frequently. To your onion/mushroom mixture, add dry sherry and bring to a low boil. Allow most of sherry to reduce and be absorbed by mushrooms, about 5 minutes, and stir frequently until most of liquid is gone. Add broth and worcestershire sauce and again bring to a low boil.
- Meanwhile, combine softened butter and flour into a beurre manié (fancy French term for flour/butter medley) and mix well until it forms a paste. The beurre manié is your thickener, so add it 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking quickly as you do and you’ll see your sauce start to thicken. Add fresh dill, stir, then add sour cream, and whisk again until sauce is smooth.
- If you can’t find fresh dill, go ahead and substitute 2 teaspoons of dry dill, it will still taste great. Add meatballs to pot and simmer on low for 20 - 30 minutes. Serve alone with toothpicks or over pasta. Garnish with more fresh dill. Makes approximately 40 meatballs.
