Ingredients
- 1 pound cauliflower, cut into small florets or priced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ teaspoon avocado oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: additional grated Parmesan cheese and parsley for garnish
For the Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- For the gravy
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup beef stock
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in the lower part of a steamer.
- Place cauliflower in the upper part and season with salt to taste.
- Steam the cauliflower until tender, about 7-10 minutes total.
Transfer steamed cauliflower (drain the water) to a food processor. - Reserve about 1/4th cup of the flour and set aside. Add the salt, black pepper, butter, Parmesan cheese, and process until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and mix in the 1/4th cup of cauliflower. Set aside.
- For the meatballs: Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl. Mix together taking care not to over mix the meat. Form each meatball by hand doing so gently, about 2 inches in diameter.
- Heat two tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, rotating each ball, until cooked through and browned.
- Remove the meatballs from the pan, and set them aside.
- For the gravy: Add the butter to the exact same skillet the meatballs were in over medium-high heat.
- Once melted, add the beef stock, heavy cream, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer until the gravy has thickened (can coat the back of a spoon) about 5-7 minutes.
- To serve add the cauliflower mash to a bowl. Place the meatballs on top and ladle the gravy on top. Garnish with parsley if desired.
