Cook for 2 minutes and add the beef stock. Use a flat bottom spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan. Then add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, heavy cream, mustard powder, stir and bring to a simmer over low to medium heat until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
4.Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Then you're ready to serve alongside the meatballs, or you can add the meatballs to the pan and simmer.
