In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in beef stock, shredded beef, cream cheese, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Simmer on low heat until the mixture thickens slightly and is well combined, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour and coconut flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Place crushed pork rinds in a third bowl.
Once the beef mixture is cool, shape it into small logs, about the size of your thumb.
Working one at a time, roll each beef log in the flour mix, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with crushed pork rinds. Press lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, or as a savory snack on its own.
