Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom in vegetable or olive oil.
Cook the meatballs in the skillet for 5-6 minutes and move around as they cook to prevent burning.
Remove them from the pan and set aside for later.
Add the butter and flour to the pan, whisk and let it cook for about 2 minutes or until it lightly browns.
Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce, whisk to combine and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes or until it thickens.
Whisk in the heavy cream and continue simmering as it thickens for about 2 minutes.
Turn the heat off and add the meatballs back to the pan.
Gently stir to combine and serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes and garnish with freshly minced parsley.
Notes
These meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
