Method

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into small meatballs.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Cook meatballs until browned on all sides. Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, add beef broth, Dijon mustard, and sour cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Add butter to the sauce and stir until melted. Return meatballs to the skillet and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Serve meatballs in the sauce with a side of mashed potatoes or lingonberry jam.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
