Dice half of a large onion finely.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 680 grams of ground beef and ground pork.

Add 40 grams of panko bread crumbs to the meat mixture.

Crack in 1 large egg and add 1/2 cup of milk.

Season with 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon of ground allspice, salt, and black pepper.

Mix the ingredients until well combined, adding more milk if necessary to achieve the right consistency.

Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil.

Roll the meat mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter and place them in the skillet.

Brown the meatballs on one side, then flip them to brown on all sides until they are no longer pink in the center or reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the meatballs from the skillet and wipe out the pan.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet.

Add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk until it forms a paste.

Slowly whisk in beef stock a little at a time until the mixture becomes a smooth gravy.

Add a dash of nutmeg, a dash of allspice, salt, and pepper to the gravy.

Stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and whisk to combine.
