Preparation

Step 1

Mix together beef, onions, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, pepper, milk and spices in a large bowl. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Roll beef mixture into 2-inch balls and place on rimmed baking sheet.
Heat oil in large skillet on medium. Place meatballs in skillet in two batches, turning every 1-2 minutes until brown on all sides. Lower heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Transfer meatballs to a plate and discard all but 1 tablespoon of oil. Place skillet back on burner and return the meatballs. (They should all fit after shrinkage.)
Mix beef broth and sour cream in a small bowl and pour over meatballs.
Simmer gently another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Transfer to rimmed platter lined with fresh parsley sprigs and serve.
