Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup Guinness beer
– 2 cups beef broth
– 2 tablespoons flour
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. 1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into 1-inch meatballs.
2. 2. In a large skillet, brown the meatballs over medium-high heat, about 3-4 minutes per side, until they’re nicely seared. Transfer the meatballs to a plate.
3. 3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. 4. Slowly pour in the Guinness and beef broth, whisking to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until thickened.
5. 5. Add the meatballs back to the skillet and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
6. 6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot, over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or your favorite sides.
Notes
For a creamier gravy, you can stir in a tablespoon or two of heavy cream at the end. The Guinness gravy can also be made in advance and reheated when ready to serve.
