INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground beef (93% lean)

1 cup cremini mushrooms

1 large egg

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp coconut aminos

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried thyme

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.

• 2

  Finely mince the mushrooms and onions, then sauté them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until all moisture has evaporated and they are soft.

• 3

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed mushroom and onion mixture, minced garlic, egg, coconut aminos, sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.

• 4

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just incorporated, taking care not to over-compress the meat.

• 5

  Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf.

• 6

  In a small ramekin, whisk together the tomato paste and balsamic vinegar until smooth, then brush the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.

• 7

  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

• 8

  Allow the meatloaf to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute for a moist texture.
