Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Red Wine Braised Meatballs
- Begin by finely chopping the onion and garlic. Gather all your ingredients including ground beef, fresh parsley, canned tomatoes, red wine, and beef broth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped parsley, onions, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized spheres, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a platter.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown for about 6-8 minutes, turning gently.
- Remove the browned meatballs and pour red wine into the skillet. Scrape browned bits and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth.
- Add the meatballs back into the skillet and cover. Let simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.
- Plate the meatballs and drizzle the sauce over the top. Serve with pasta, polenta, or crusty bread.

Notes
Store leftover braised meatballs in the sauce for moisture. They last 3 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
