Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in flour to create a roux, cooking for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.

Gradually add broth, whisking continuously until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes.

Add cooked, shredded beef, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; mix well.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.

Once cooled, shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Dip each ball in beaten eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the balls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with mustard for dipping.
