Easy paleo meatballs that are gluten, grain, egg, nut and dairy free! Stick them on toothpicks, throw them over a plate of zoodles or cauliflower puree and slather them in homemade bone broth gravy, or wolf them down straight off the pan.
Meatball ingredients
- 850g grass-fed beef mince
- 2 tbsp tamari or coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp cumin powder
- 1 tbsp coriander powder
- 2-3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 4-6 cloves of garlic, crushed
- Butter or ghee for cooking
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnishing
Bone broth gravy
- 2-3 cups homemade bone broth
- 1-2 tbsp cassava flour
Instructions
- Add meatball ingredients into a bowl and combine everything.
- Roll the mixture into 30 meatballs.
- Heat a frying pan and add some ghee. Add a few meatballs to the frying pan and cook on all sides until dark golden brown. Then remove from the pan and set aside in a dish.
- Add more ghee if needed to cook the next batch of meatballs. Repeat until all the meatballs are cooked.
- Now for the bone broth gravy. Add the bone broth into a small saucepan and bring up to a medium simmer.
- Add the cassava flour, starting with 1 tbsp and whisk it together until there are no lumps.
- Allow it to simmer and reduce for a few minutes. Add more cassava flour and whisk through if you want a thicker gravy.
- Serve the meatballs with your choice of sides; steamed or roasted veggies, cooked and cooled rice or my twice cooked and cooled roast potatoes, or a veggie puree and pour the gravy on top and garnish with fresh parsley. These meatballs are also delicious chopped up and added into a homemade fried rice.
