Swirl out the pan with boiling beef stock.
2
Add the cream.

I thought the sauce lacked that depth of flavor that we remembered with traditional swedish meatball sauce. Close but no cigar...sorry!

Perfect - Just what I needed. My only advice to other chefs is to watch out for the salt. I used reduced sodium beef broth and reduced sodium soy sauce so I figured it would need salt and I added a bit. I'm not sure if it got salty when the sauce reduced and thickened or when I simmered the meatballs in the sauce (the meatballs were pretty well seasoned). Luckily it wasn't too salty and had a great taste. Just make sure to add the salt at the very end of cooking. I will definitely make this sauce many times in the future! So easy - Thanks!

I made this last night and we enjoyed it quite a lot. It doesn't taste exactly the same as the sauce at Ikea but comes pretty close. We had it with meatballs and pasta and it made for a simple but comforting meal. I guess it would be even better with homemade Swedish Meatballs so that you actually had some juices in the pan to swirl out (see step 1), but I had bought mine in the supermarket and it was still good.

I had some Ikea meatballs on hand and thought I would try this (even though I had a pkg. of Ikea's sauce) and I have to say my family preferred this one. It was very simple to make and was delicious served over rice. Everyone said that they would like this again. Thanks!
