Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 250 ml beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 80 grams, melted butter
- 3 large egg
- 150 grams, shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onion softens.
Mix in the tomato paste, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme. Stir well and let simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and melted butter. Add one beaten egg and mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan, evenly spreading it over the bottom and up the sides to form the crust.
Pour the mince mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, beat the remaining two eggs and pour over the mince filling.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is set and golden brown.
Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
