In a large bowl, combine the next 8 ingredients (ground beef through cloves).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Add onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
Add cooked ingredients to the meat mixture and mix to combine. Form mixture into meatballs and place on lined baking sheet.
In the heated skillet, add remaining oil and add meatballs in batches and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, continuously rotating each ball, until they are browned and cooked throughout.
Remove, set aside and keep warm until all the meatballs are cooked. Serve warm alongside the asparagus.
