In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, dried oregano, 0.25 tsp sea salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix by hand until just combined, then form into 6 to 8 uniform meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely diced yellow onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Carefully place the meatballs in the skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Pour the tomato puree and remaining 0.25 tsp sea salt over the meatballs.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
