Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup ghee, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt (for crust)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, ground beef, and cook until the meat is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Step 4

Add the diced carrots and celery to the skillet, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, and coconut aminos. Mix well and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Step 7

To prepare the crust, in a medium bowl, combine almond flour and sea salt. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and melted ghee.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture into the almond flour and stir until dough forms.

Step 9

Press half of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 10

Spoon the meat mixture into the prepared crust, spreading evenly.

Step 11

Roll out the remaining dough on a piece of parchment paper to fit the top of the pie. Place it over the filling, sealing the edges.

Step 12

Make a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 14

Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
