Ingredients (makes 6 servings)
- 1 tsp ghee or duck fat for greasing
- 680 g ground beef (1.5 lbs)
- 1 small yellow onion (70 g/ 2.5 oz)
- 1 tsp dried tarragon
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- Optional: 1/4 tsp saffron
- 1 tbsp paleo mayonnaise (15 g/ 0.5 oz) - you can make your own mayo
- 170 g fresh mozzarella, sliced (6 oz)
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper, sliced (60 g/ 2.1 oz)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (conventional), or 155 °C/ 310 °F (fan assisted) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease ghee or duck fat.
- Grate the onion and squeeze fully so the juice is all out. Discard the juice.
- Put ground beef in a bowl, add grated onion, mayonnaise and spiced to it. Mix and knead very well. If not using immediately, you can store the meat in the fridge for up to a day.
- When ready to bake, shape the meat mixture into the rectangle on a baking sheet.
- Put sliced cheese and sliced bell pepper on the meat, leaving a 2 1/2 cm/ 1" border around the edges.
- Roll up to wrap and close the filling and form a pinwheel loaf. Pinch the loaf in on both ends so that the cheese won't leak out.
- Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 70 °C/ 160 °F (you can use an instant read thermometer). Let it rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- You can slice it and dip on your favorite sugar-free ketchup (or make your own low-carb ketchup in just 15 minutes!) and enjoy. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
