INGREDIENTS

8 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 large egg

0.5 tbsp almond flour

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.5 cup tomato puree

0 tsp olive oil

0.5 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tbsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, finely diced onion, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

• 2

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just incorporated, taking care not to overwork the meat to maintain a tender consistency.

• 3

  Roll the mixture into 8 to 10 uniform meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

• 5

  Place the meatballs in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms on all sides.

• 6

  Pour the tomato puree over the meatballs and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes for a zesty flavor profile.

• 7

  Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.

• 8

  Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
