How to make Swedish Meatballs | Homemade Ikea Meatballs

Mix together beef mince, pork mince, diced onion, minced garlic, panko bread crumbs, egg, full-fat milk, salt, black pepper, white pepper, and allspice in a bowl until combined.

Shape the mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball and place them on a tray.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan and fry half of the meatballs until browned all over, then transfer to a tray.

Repeat frying with the second batch of meatballs.

Place the fried meatballs in a low oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5-6 minutes to finish cooking.

In the same pan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, then whisk in 3 tablespoons of plain flour to form a roux.

Add 180 ml of beef stock and stir until combined and smooth.

Stir in 120 ml of vegetable stock, 120 ml of double cream, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of Worcester sauce, 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard, and ¼ teaspoon of salt; bring to a gentle simmer.

Add the meatballs back to the pan and stir to coat in the sauce, cooking for another couple of minutes before serving.
