Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, garlic, onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are fully combined.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

Step 5

While the meatballs are baking, prepare the gravy: in a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add beef broth to the saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle xanthan gum over the surface of the gravy, whisking continuously to prevent lumps, and cook until the gravy has thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Once the meatballs are baked, transfer them to a serving dish and pour the gravy over them.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
