Step:

  1. Preheat Broiler for the meatballs. Put the meatballs into the broiler for 7 minutes, flip them. Place the meatballs back into the broiler for another 7 minutes. Remove the meatballs, put them to side to cool.

  2. Keep the broiler on and put the sausages into the broiler. Cook the sausages for 6 minutes, flip them, and put them back into the broiler for 6 minutes. Place the sausages with the meatballs to cool off.

  3. Preheat a medium sized pan on a stove-top over a medium high heat. Add ground black pepper to all of the sides of the stew meat, then brown the stew meat on all sides. Once each side is browned, store with the sausages and meatballs.
