Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Frying pan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

For the Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground beef 453g
  • ¼ pound ground pork 113g
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup almond flour 56g
  • ¼ cup heavy cream 60ml
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 22g
  • ½ small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter 30g
  • 1 cup beef broth 240ml
  • 1 cup heavy cream 240ml
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, egg, almond flour, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, allspice, and nutmeg. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a plate. Set aside.
  • Cook the Meatballs: Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove meatballs from the pan and set aside.
  • Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Combine and Serve: Return the meatballs to the pan with the sauce, stirring to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, you can add a pinch of xanthan gum while stirring.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, strain it before adding the meatballs back to the pan.
Serve over cauliflower mash or zoodles for a complete keto-friendly meal.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
