Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 Egg
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the green onions, garlic, thyme, allspice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the coconut aminos, stir well, and let simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour and tapioca flour. Cut in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and water together, then stir this into the flour mixture. Knead the dough gently until it comes together.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part out between two sheets of parchment paper to form a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
Place a heaping tablespoon of beef filling on one half of each circle of dough, leaving enough space around the edges to seal. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Transfer the patties to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
Let the patties cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
