Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef (grass-fed)
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp, for frying coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and parsley.
Step 2
Add the almond flour, egg, smoked paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Form the mixture into small patties, each about 7-8 cm (3 inches) in diameter and 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick. You should have approximately 10-12 patties.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd it. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve warm with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables, guacamole, or a fresh salad.
