Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
2
Mix gently with your hands until just combined; over-mixing can make the meatballs tough.
3
Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs (about 24-30 total).
4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil, and brown the meatballs on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
5
Transfer the browned meatballs to a plate and set aside.
6
Reduce the heat to medium and melt 2 tbsp butter in the same skillet.
7
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
8
Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking continuously, then stir in tomato paste, soy sauce, and black pepper.
9
Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.
