Instructions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. When warm, add onion and garlic and saute for 3 minutes or until soft. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
Add ground beef, pork, coconut flour, egg, allspice, and nutmeg to the bowl with the vegetables and mix to combine.

In the skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches, around 5 minutes, or until meat is cooked to your preference. Set meatballs on a separate plate.
Make your sauce by adding butter and arrowroot to the skillet and whisking to create a paste.
Add in broth and continuously stirring, cook for 2 minutes or until thickened.
