This recipe given to me by my mom over 20 years ago is not the usual cream-lemon sauce, but is a beef based sauce with a slight tangy flavor that compliments the meatballs and goes well with steamed white rice.

Steps


Combine beaten egg , ground beef , bread crumbs , salt and pepper in a large bowl and form into 24 large meatballs.
Bring beef broth to a boil , then add meatballs.
Lower heat and poach gently for 15 minutes.
Whisk to smooth 3 tbls.
Flour and 1 / 2 cup of water.
Remove meatballs to a heated dish and skim any fat from broth.
Slowly stir flour mixture in to simmering broth and stir with a whisk until sauce thickens.
Add lemon juice to sauce and return meatballs to the sauce.
Simmer 5 minutes before serving.
