Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef

  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons ghee (for mash)
  • 23 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix lean ground beef, onion powder, egg, salt, and pepper until just combined. Shape into meatballs.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs on all sides; they don’t need to be fully cooked yet.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  4. Mix ghee and tapioca starch with mushrooms; gradually stir in beef broth until smooth. Simmer until thickened.
  5. Return browned meatballs to the skillet; cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, steam cauliflower florets until fork-tender. Drain and mash with ghee, almond milk, and salt until creamy.
  7. Serve cauliflower mash topped with meatballs and gravy.
