Traditional Swedish Meatballs with Brown Gravy and Lingonberry Sauce

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and milk. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides.
4. In the same skillet, add flour and stir to create a roux. Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly.
5. Simmer the gravy until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
6. In a small saucepan, combine lingonberries, sugar, and a splash of water. Cook until softened and thickened.
7. Serve the meatballs with the gravy and lingonberry sauce, garnished with fresh dill.
8. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
