Ingredients

500g beef mince
1/2 brown onion, finely diced
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tbsp olive oil

For the gravy

1/2 brown onion, finely diced
200g button mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp plain flour
1 1/4 cups chicken or beef stock
1 tbsp tomato sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp balsamic vinegar

Method

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine mince, onion, bread crumbs, egg, oregano and Worcestershire sauce. Season well with salt and pepper, and mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands. Roll into golf ball sized balls. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
Step 2

Heat oil in a large non-stick frypan and cook meatballs for 5-6 minutes over medium heat, turning to cook evenly. Remove to a plate. Add onion to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until starting to soften, then add mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes. Stir through flour for 1 minute, then add stock gradually, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir through sauces and balsamic Check for seasoning, adding salt and pepper if necessary, then return meatballs to the pan. Spoon sauce over and simmer for 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
Step 3

Serve with mashed potato or rice and the mushroom pan sauce.
