Ingredients

• Ground beef - 200 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Dried thyme - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Form the mixture into small balls, about 2.5 cm in diameter.
3. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
