  • Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven for 20 mins at 220 degrees Celsius or until they are browned.

Gravy

  • To prepare the gravy, heat a pot on low heat and add butter.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the flour and mix them together.
  • When the flour and butter mixture starts to develop a nutty aroma, which should be about five minutes in, add the beef stock. 
  • Add soy sauce, whipping cream, chilli powder, salt and pepper.
  • When the sauce has reduced to half, remove the pan from the stove.

Cranberry Sauce

  • To prepare the cranberry sauce, start by boiling water in a saucepan. 
  • Add sugar when the water starts to boil and stir occasionally until it thickens.
  • Add in the cranberries while stirring and gently pressing them. 
  •  Continue cooking the mixture for around 10 minutes. Remove from heat when the mixture has been reduced into a thick jam. 
  • Plate the meatballs and place a dollop of cranberry sauce at the side. To serve, pour the luxurious gravy all over the meatballs.
