Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (grass-fed, 85% lean)
• 0.25 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 onion, finely diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until evenly incorporated, but do not overwork the mixture to avoid tough patties.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, approximately 2.5 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, ensuring they do not overcrowd (work in batches if necessary).

Step 6

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the skillet and allow them to rest for 2-3 minutes on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired. These are perfect paired with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
