Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
Garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, then form the mixture into meatballs of your preferred size.
- Cook the Meatballs: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the butter and melt it over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Season the sauce with salt to taste.
- Toss Meatballs in Sauce: Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. Toss them gently to coat evenly in the sauce, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve the meatballs hot as a satisfying keto-friendly meal.
Notes
- Use almond flour as a low-carb binder; you can substitute with crushed pork rinds for similar results.
- Cook meatballs evenly by turning them regularly to avoid burning the butter or garlic.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
- Serve these meatballs with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to keep it keto-friendly.
- Ensure not to overcook garlic to prevent bitterness.
