By

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 lbs ground beef (preferably 80/20)
  • 1/2 c almond flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 roasted red pepper, about 1/3 c, chopped
  • 1/4 c wheat-free soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 t fish sauce
  • 1 t sriracha, chile sauce or hot sauce
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 lime, zested
  • salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven 400ºF.

In a small skillet, heat up a teaspoon or 2 of your fat of choice and saute the garlic until it’s golden, but not brown.

In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients (except the beef). Now add the beef and mix well, making sure everything is thoroughly combined.

Portion out the mixture, using a cookie scoop, onto a parchment or silicone/silpat lined baking sheet.

Pop in the oven until cooked through, and the tops have slightly browned (you may need to switch to broil), about 20-30 minutes.
