Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (grass-fed, 85% lean)
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until evenly incorporated, but do not overwork the mixture to avoid tough patties.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, approximately 2.5 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, ensuring they do not overcrowd (work in batches if necessary).
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F.
Remove the patties from the skillet and allow them to rest for 2-3 minutes on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired. These are perfect paired with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
