Beef Keftedes

Beef Keftedes are savory Greek meatballs, perfectly seasoned with herbs and spices, and ideal for a Paleo-friendly BBQ. These tender morsels are grilled to perfection, making them a delectable addition to any outdoor feast.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 250 grams
• Almond flour - 30 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Fresh mint - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon, dried
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for brushing)

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, minced garlic, finely chopped red onion, parsley, mint, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix the ingredients well with your hands until fully combined, then form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grate with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Place the meatballs on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on the outside and cooked through.
