- Pour in beef broth, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in coconut milk and erythritol (if using) and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are done, add them to the curry sauce, gently coating them. Serve warm.
Notes
- For added vegetables, consider stirring in some spinach or cauliflower rice before serving.
- To spice it up, add a teaspoon of chili paste or sriracha to the curry sauce for a kick.
