Mom's Meatball Stroganoff
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra, for seasoning
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra, for seasoning
- 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 pound cultivated white mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Combine the chuck, half of the chopped onion, the garlic, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, egg yolks, and water in a large bowl.
- Mix well and form meatballs that measure about 1-inch in diameter.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the meatballs and cook, shaking and turning, until well browned, about 5 minutes.
- Don't crowd the pan; work in batches, if necessary.
- Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Pour off any excess fat from the skillet, leaving 3 tablespoons in the pan and add the remaining onion.
- Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the liquid they give off has evaporated, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Pour in the sherry, increase the heat to high, and boil until almost all the liquid they give off has evaporated.
- Pour in the stock and bring to a boil.
- Rub the butter with the flour in a small bowl until it forms a smooth paste.
- Pinch off pea-sized pieces and add little by little to the boiling sauce, whisking constantly for 3 minutes.
- Add the meatballs, stir in the dill, and sour cream, season with salt and pepper, and cook over low heat until the meatballs are just heated through.
- Serve hot.
