Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, allspice, nutmeg, black pepper, salt, and egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. Turn on the Instant Pot and select the 'Saute' function. Melt the butter in the pot.
4. Place the meatballs in the Instant Pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the meatballs from the pot and set aside.
5. Add beef broth to the Instant Pot and scrape the bottom to remove any browned bits.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, flour, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
7. Pour the cream mixture into the Instant Pot and stir to combine with the beef broth.
8. Return the meatballs to the pot and close the lid. Set the Instant Pot to 'Manual' mode and cook at high pressure for 8 minutes.
9. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
10. Open the lid and gently stir the meatballs and gravy. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
