Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick pan.
Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides. Remove meatballs from pan and set aside.

Gradually whisk in the beef broth. Add the Worcestershire sauce and pepper.
Return meatballs to pan. Simmer gravy until meatballs are cooked through and gravy is thickened.

Notes
