Ingredients

• 500 grams grass-fed ground beef
• 1 medium onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup tapioca flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 large egg
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Grate the carrot and add it to the beef along with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the beef mixture from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a large bowl, mix almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 6

Melt the remaining coconut oil and add it to the flour mixture along with one whisked egg and lemon juice. Stir to combine until a dough forms. If too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.

Step 7

Divide the dough into two portions. Roll out each between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 8

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place one rolled-out dough on the sheet.

Step 9

Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 10

Place the second layer of dough over the beef, sealing the edges by pressing them together with a fork.

Step 11

Whisk the remaining egg and brush it over the top of the pastry to give a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is firm and golden brown.

Step 13

Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
