Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 egg
- 50 g parmesan cheese, grated
- 30 g almond flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, grated parmesan cheese, almond flour, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the beef balls in batches to the skillet and sear them until they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch.
Transfer the browned beef balls back to the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef balls are cooked through.
Remove the beef balls from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with freshly chopped parsley or with a low-carb dipping sauce of your choice.
