Paleo Swedish Meatballs

While we will always love our bacon-wrapped, Kobe-crafted burgers and savory meatloaf made from Steakhouse Elite ground brisket, we have a lighter side, too! And we thought there was no better way to feature our feel-good grass-fed line of Steakhouse Elite ground beef than with a grass-fed Paleo recipe.
 
So, if you are thinking more about what you are putting into your body, or maybe you’ve even made the switch to a more natural or even paleo diet, here is a recipe that pairs feel-good grass-fed beef with a Paleo dinner dish.

Paleo Swedish Meatballs
 
Meatballs
1 lb Ground Steakhouse Elite Grass-fed Beef
1 lb Ground Pork
2 Eggs
1 TBSP of Parsley
1 TSP Salt
1 TSP Black Pepper
¼ TSP Cinnamon
¼ TSP Nutmeg
1/8 TSP Ground Cloves
1/2C Sweet Onion, chopped
1 Garlic Clove, minced
 
Gravy
1/3C Sweet Onion, chopped
1 Garlic Clove, minced
14 oz Can of Full-Fat Canned Coconut Milk
2 C Beef Broth
2 TBSP Butter
1 TSP Black Pepper
3 TBSP Tapioca Flour (for thickening)
Salt to taste
 
For the Meatballs

1. Combine the beef, pork, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and onion in a bowl. Knead together.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Coat the bottom with cooking lard or fat.
3. Form meat mixture into 1-2” meatballs and add to cooking pan. Cook until done throughout, about 8-10 minutes depending on the size, rotating the meatballs throughout the cooking process.
4. Remove the balls and place in a strainer to drain. Repeat cooking the remainder of the meatballs in batches. Drain excess grease from pan when done.

 
For the Gravy

1. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for about a minute until partially translucent.
2. Slowly add coconut milk, broth, butter, and pepper. Whisk and cook for five minutes.
3. Slowly add the tapioca flour one tablespoon at a time, whisking briskly until dissolved. If your gravy does not solidify, add a touch more tapioca flour, a teaspoon at a time.  (If the gravy clumps, you can blend contents in a blender). Add salt if desired.
4. Add meatballs to sauce and coat with gravy. Serve alone, over potatoes, or with shredded zucchini.

Feel good food made with feel-good beef. Now that’s a win-win!
