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
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the meatball mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, and then shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.
  2. Cook the meatballs: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the meatballs. Cook them until they are nicely browned on the outside and fully cooked through in the center. Once done, remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.
  3. Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Toss meatballs in sauce: Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet and gently toss them in the garlic butter sauce until well coated and heated through.
  5. Serve and garnish: Transfer the garlic butter meatballs to a serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately to enjoy their full flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the meatball mixture to keep them tender.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best and most intense flavor in the garlic butter sauce.
  • Cooking the meatballs in a skillet ensures a nice crust and even cooking.
  • These meatballs pair well with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.
