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.

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.
