Number Of Ingredients 28

SATCHET:
1/4 tsp whole black peppercorns
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1/8 tsp celery seed
1/3 cup fresh parsley
ONION GRAVY:
32 oz beef stock
1/2 cup dry sherry wine
4 onions
5 tbsp flour
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
MEATBALLS:
3/4 lb ground beef
3/4 lb ground pork
1 egg
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
SANDWICH:
2 loafs french bread
1/2 lb gruyere cheese sliced

Steps:

  • Saute onions in a large pot over medium low heat for about one hour stirring every few minutes until onions are soft and caramelized.
  • Add all sachet ingredients to the pouch and tie it close. Add stock, sachet, vinegar, and sherry to the pot with the caramelized onions and allow to come to a simmer. Cover and let continue to simmer for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Remove sachet and about 1/2 cup of the sauce from the pot. Mix flour well with the separate cup of sauce.
  • Slowly whisk the separate cup of sauce back into the pot and allow to thicken. Add butter. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Add all ingredients in bowl and mix well. Roll meat into 1 and a half inch balls and place on cookie sheet. It should make about 17-18 balls. Bake for 15 minutes and add to the onion gravy.
  • Place the coated meatballs into the French bread loaf along with desired amount of gravy. Cover with cheese. Place in oven at 400 degrees for about 2-3 minutes until bread is crispy and cheese is melted well.
