🥩 Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
-
1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 for juicy texture)
-
1 large egg
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp garlic powder (optional for relaxed carnivore)
-
½ tsp onion powder (optional)
For the Butter Sauce:
-
4 tbsp unsalted butter
-
2 tbsp beef broth (optional)

Pinch of salt
👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Meatballs
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, salt, and seasonings.
Form into small meatballs (about 1½ inches in diameter).
Step 2: Pan-Sear
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
Add meatballs and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Butter Sauce
In the same pan, add remaining butter.
Scrape up any browned bits, then add beef broth (if using).
Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 4: Combine & Serve
Return the meatballs to the pan and coat them in the butter sauce.
Serve hot — optionally topped with melted cheese if you’re doing a keto-carnivore variation.
