Step 1

Place beef and pork in a large bowl and mix with your fingers to break up any lumps. Add onion, garlic, breadcrumbs and egg. Mix. Add milk and season.

Step 2

Shape mixture into small balls. Place on a clean plate, cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours to chill. (This will help them hold their shape while cooking.)

Step 3

Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, gently add meatballs and brown on all sides.

Step 4

Transfer meatballs to an ovenproof and cover. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 5

To make the cream sauce, melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable and beef stock. Stir to combine. Add cream, soy sauce and Dijon. Bring to the boil then simmer until sauce thickens.

Step 6

Serve meatballs with potatoes and sauce.
