Keto meatballs are a delicious, low-carb twist on a classic dish, perfect for those following a ketogenic diet. This recipe combines rich ground beef, aromatic spices, and a creamy, tangy sauce. Paired with vegetables, it offers a well-rounded and satisfying meal.
Instructions:
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets and trim the green beans. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, finely chopped shallots, minced garlic, allspice, and ground nutmeg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the meatballs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Transfer the cooked meatballs to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the beef broth, mustard, and light sour cream. Stir well to combine with the residual juices from the meatballs.
- Let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. If it becomes too thick, you can add a bit more beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
- While the gravy is simmering, steam the cauliflower florets and green beans until tender. This usually takes about 7-10 minutes for the cauliflower and 4-6 minutes for the green beans. You can steam them together or separately depending on your preference and available equipment.
- Once the gravy has thickened, return the meatballs to the skillet. Gently stir them into the gravy to coat them evenly.
- Serve the Keto Meatballs hot, along with the steamed cauliflower and green beans on the side.
Tips:
- Make sure to use 80/20 ground beef to ensure the meatballs are juicy and flavorful.
- Finely chop the shallots and garlic to create a smooth texture in the meatballs.
- Brown the meatballs in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, ensuring they cook evenly.
- For an even smoother sauce, consider blending the sauce ingredients before adding them to the meatballs.
- Steam or roast the cauliflower and green beans to your preferred tenderness before serving.
Enjoy these rich and flavorful Keto meatballs as a perfect meal for any occasion. With the right combination of juicy meat, aromatic spices, and creamy sauce, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your keto recipe rotation.
