Combine all ingredients thoroughly until a uniform mixture forms.

Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.

Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Slowly whisk in beef broth and soy sauce, cooking until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Return meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the sauce, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
