Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 3/4 pound ground beef, 93% lean
  • 3/4 pound ground pork, 96% lean
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup grass-fed butter
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups beef bone broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, to garnish

Instructions:

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. When warm, add onion and garlic and saute for 3 minutes or until soft. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl.

Add ground beef, pork, coconut flour, egg, allspice, and nutmeg to the bowl with the vegetables and mix to combine.

Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs until there is no mixture remaining.

In the skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches, around 5 minutes, or until meat is cooked to your preference. Set meatballs on a separate plate.

Make your sauce by adding butter and arrowroot to the skillet and whisking to create a paste.

Add in broth and continuously stirring, cook for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Add coconut cream, salt, and pepper.

Return the meatballs to the sauce and cook for 5-10 minutes or until warm.

Split between 6 plates and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with cauliflower mash, if desired.
