Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 0.25 cup tapioca flour
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 cup beef broth or stock
• 1 medium carrot, finely diced
• 1 celery stalk, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and one egg to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water by the teaspoon until it comes together.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.

Step 7

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 8

Add the tomato paste, beef broth, diced carrot, and diced celery. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Season the mixture with sea salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Simmer for about 10 minutes until vegetables are tender and the mixture slightly thickens.

Step 10

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a large rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 11

Cut the dough into smaller rectangles suitable for individual pastries.

Step 12

Spoon the beef filling into the center of each dough piece, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 13

Fold the pastry over the filling, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 14

Place the pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 15

Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg.

Step 16

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.

Step 17

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
