Ingredients

• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 lb grass fed ground beef
• 1/2 onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 tbsp almond milk
• 1 tbsp pink Himalayan sea salt
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup broth
• 2 tsp coriander seeds
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 stalk lemongrass
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• lime zest

Instructions

1. On an oiled pan, cook garlic and onions until fragrant and translucent.
2. Brown onions and garlic
3. Meanwhile, combine almond flour and almond milk to create a paste.
4. Take your ground beef and add salt and your almond paste.
5. Add almond flour and milk
6. When your onions and garlic are done cooking, add them to the ground beef and using your hands, mix and squeeze to combine.
7. Add to beef
8. Begin creating your meatballs by taking a small handful of ground beef and giving it a good squeeze to eliminate air bubbles. Roll them in your hands gently creating uniformly sized balls about 2 inches in diameter. The smaller the meatballs, the faster they'll cook. Keep that in mind so they don't overcook and dry out.
9. Make your meatballs
10. Once your meatballs are assembled, use the same pan to brown the meatballs on both sides. Arrange the meatballs along the edge of the pan leaving the center empty.
11. Brown on both sides
12. While the meatballs are browning, add your spices into the empty center of the pan. The spices will begin to heat and denature, releasing their flavor into the pan. You'll see a sort of paste form in the oily center of the pan.
13. Add spices
14. After the meatballs are browned on both sides, you can pour in the coconut milk and broth. Give it a good shake to disperse the spices.
15. Add in your lemongrass stalk (whacked with the blunt end of a knife to release its oils) and fresh ginger and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
16. Add coconut broth and simmer
17. Take one of the meatballs out and cut it in half to see if it's cooked throughout. If it is, you're set! If it's not, check on another again in about 3-5 minutes.
18. Serve with some coconut broth in a bowl and your favorite side dish!
