🥩 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.
