   Prepare the meatball mixture by combining ground beef, finely minced garlic, parsley, garlic and herb seasoning, lemon zest, egg, breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt. Mix together gently.

2. 2
   Roll the mixture into meatballs about the size of a walnut. Dip each meatball lightly in flour, shake off excess, and set aside.
   ≈2:50
3. 3
   Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Gently add the meatballs and cook, turning them frequently to cook evenly on all sides. Cook gently without rushing—you want them to start cooking through, not to become crispy.
   ≈3:38
4. 4
   Once the meatballs are browned, discard excess fat from the pan. Add the smashed garlic clove, lemon juice, and chicken stock. Stir gently to combine.
   ≈4:37
5. 5
   Pour the sauce over the meatballs and simmer gently for about 15 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened into a rich gravy.
   ≈5:12
6. 6
   Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley. Serve over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread.
