Preparation Steps
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or pork, egg, almond flour, and spices. Mix until just combined and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Shape the mixture into uniform meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on a baking sheet.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes or air fry for 12-15 minutes.
  4. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the heavy cream and beef broth, bringing it to a simmer.
  5. Add Worcestershire sauce and mustard, and let the sauce thicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Combine the cooked meatballs with the creamy sauce and simmer briefly to allow flavors to meld.
