Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Total: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • ½ cup Panko
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 medium shallot, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Panko, milk, egg yolks, shallot, garlic, thyme, allspice and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 3/4-to-1-inch meatballs, forming about 30-32 meatballs.
    2. Set a 6-qt Instant Pot® to the high saute setting. Heat canola oil; working in two batches, add meatballs and cook until all sides are browned, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
    3. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in beef stock, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
    4. Return meatballs to the Instant Pot®. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 8 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions.
    5. Set meatballs aside. Select high sauté setting; simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in sour cream; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
    6. Serve immediately with meatballs, garnished with dill and parsley, if desired.
