Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until just combined, then shape the mixture into about fifteen 2-inch meatballs. Pour some flour into a shallow dish and roll each meatball in it until lightly coated.

Step 2

Heat a good splash of oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, cooking for about 5 minutes until they’re partially cooked through. Once browned, take them out and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add chopped carrots, onion, mushrooms, and a bit more garlic. Cook everything over medium heat, stirring regularly, for about 10 minutes until the veggies start to soften.

Step 4

Pour in the red wine and broth, then sprinkle in the garlic and herb seasoning, thyme, salt, pepper, and toss in a bay leaf. Nestle the meatballs back into the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let everything simmer gently for around 2 hours so the flavors can really come together.
