Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by finely chopping one medium onion and mincing three cloves of garlic. Set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine one pound of ground beef, the chopped parsley, onion, minced garlic, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Gently mix until fully combined.
- Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into golf ball-sized meatballs, yielding about 20. Arrange them on a plate.
- In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and brown for about 4-5 minutes until golden on all sides.
- Transfer the meatballs to a plate. Reduce heat to medium-low, then pour in one cup of red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in one can of crushed tomatoes and one cup of low-sodium beef broth, bringing to a gentle simmer.
- Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, submerging them in the sauce. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring gently to ensure even cooking.

Perfect for meal prep, these meatballs can be made ahead and stored for those busy evenings. They taste even better the next day after flavors have melded.
