Preparation
Prepare & start the meatballs
In a large bowl, combine the beef, garlic, ½ the spices and S&P. Form into 10 meatballs (double for 4 portions) about the size of a golf ball. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the meatballs and cook, partially covered, turning occasionally, 4 to 5 min., until browned and partially cooked.
Cook the potatoes
Meanwhile, in a medium heatproof bowl, add the potatoes. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and pierce a few holes. Microwave, 4 to 5 min. (6 to 8 min. for 4 portions), until tender. Add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Lightly crush the potatoes.
Make the sauce & finish the meatballs
Meanwhile, to the pan of meatballs, add the demi-glace, cream, 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 min., until the meatballs* are cooked through and the sauce is reduced.
Make the slaw
Meanwhile, thinly slice the celery crosswise. Roughly chop the dill stems and fronds. In a second large bowl, combine the cabbage, celery, vinaigrette, ⅓ of the dill and S&P.
Finish & serve
To the pan of meatballs and sauce, add ½ the remaining dill; stir well. Divide the potatoes, meatballs and sauce between your bowls. Garnish with the remaining dill. Serve the slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
