Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1/2 lb Ground Pork
  • 1/2 cup Onion
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Allspice
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 head Lettuce

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 lb Ground Beef, 1/2 lb Ground Pork, 1/2 cup Onion, 1 Egg, 2 tbsp Coconut Flour, and 1/2 tsp Allspice. Mix with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  2. 2Roll the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should have approximately 20-24 meatballs.
  3. 3Heat 1 tbsp of the 2 tbsp Butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add the meatballs in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. 4Remove the browned meatballs from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Pour off any excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
  5. 5Add the remaining 1 tbsp of Butter to the same skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Pour in the 1 cup Beef Broth and 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. 6Return the browned meatballs to the skillet. Cover the skillet and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
  7. 7Uncover the skillet and stir in the 1/2 cup Heavy Cream. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  8. 8Wash and separate the leaves from the 1 head Lettuce to create cups. Spoon the meatballs and gravy into the lettuce cups and serve immediately.
