Preparation
In a bowl, combine the ground beef (8 oz) with the egg (1), grated Parmesan cheese (¼ cup), coarse sea salt (1 tsp), cracked black pepper (1 tsp), garlic powder (½ tsp), onion powder (½ tsp), smoked paprika (½ tsp), crushed red pepper flakes (¼ tsp), coriander seeds (¼ tsp), dill seeds or dried dill (¼ tsp), and mustard powder (¼ tsp). Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1½ inches in diameter.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter (1 Tbsp) for cooking. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, for about 8–10 minutes until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the meatballs and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter (1 Tbsp) for the sauce over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream (½ cup) and Dijon mustard (1 Tbsp). Simmer the sauce gently for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the Montreal meatballs and spoon the creamy mustard sauce generously over the top. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.

In 2016, during a visit to a Level 1 Certificate Course at CrossFit Silicon Valley, CrossFit Founder and CEO Greg Glassman spoke about the program’s role in confronting the nation’s top killer: chronic disease.
Conditions such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer are responsible for 70% of deaths in the U.S. each year. “Medicine has no answer,” Glassman says. “You do.”
His solution is CrossFit—practical, non-medical health care through consistent training and proper nutrition. This approach helps people avoid chronic illness, improve quality of life, and extend longevity.
Greg defines fitness as “work capacity measured across broad time and modal domains,” enabling participants to track measurable progress. By coupling this definition with an emphasis on nutrition, the program drives meaningful lifestyle changes that reshape both body and mind.
“What you’re learning this weekend,” Glassman explains, “is how to give yourself, your loved ones, and your community a pass on chronic disease.”
