Instructions
-
Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cornmeal, egg, oregano, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 20-24 meatballs depending on the size.
-
Bake the Meatballs: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, turning the meatballs every 5 minutes to ensure they are evenly cooked and browned.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
-
Deglaze the Skillet: Pour in the red wine (or beef stock) to the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze and incorporate any flavorful bits left from sautéing. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
-
Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the milk and heavy cream. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and shake until well combined and smooth.
-
Combine the Sauce with the Meatballs: Slowly pour the milk mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. This should take a couple of minutes.
-
Add the Meatballs: Gently add the baked meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Heat through for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the meatballs to absorb the flavors.
-
Season to Taste: Taste the stroganoff and add salt, pepper, or garlic salt according to your preference.
-
Serve: Serve the creamy meatball stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, prepared according to the package instructions, and enjoy this delightful dish with family and friends.
