Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Fried Steak:

  • 1 lb. cube steak ¼ inch thick
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup crushed pork rinds or keto crackers, or almond meal
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Cooking oil we use avocado oil

For the Keto Sausage Gravy:

  • 1 lb ground pork breakfast sausage
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

For the Chicken Fried Steak

  • Salt and pepper both sides of the cube steak.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and eggs.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Heat ½ inch of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dip the cube steak into the egg wash and flip it to coat both sides.
  • Dip the egg coated steak into the crunchy coating and flip to coat.
  • Gently lower the coated cube steak into the hot oil. Fry golden brown, then using tongs flip to fry the other side.
  • Place cooked keto fried chicken steak on a plate with a paper towel. Repeat with the next piece of steak.

For the Sausage Gravy

  • Heat a large frying pan to medium temperature. Add crumbled sausage and cook until the sausage is no longer pink, using a spatula to break up the crumbles.
  • Remove the sausage from the pan; set aside.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until the onion is translucent and soft. Stir often.
  • Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Bring the gravy to a boil.
  • Once the gravy begins to boil, lower the heat and simmer for one minute.
  • Add the sausage back to the pan and continue to cook and stir for one minute.
  • Spoon the gravy over the top of the keto chicken fried steak and serve hot.

Notes

  • Usually cube steak is sold in large pieces. Cut each cube steak in half to make 4 pieces. This will make it easier to flip when frying.
  • The keto gravy is optional.
  • If you don't have pork rinds, you can use almond meal or crushed keto crackers. Please note the outer coating won't get as crispy.
  • Cube steak is a thin cut of steak that's been tenderized. You can use your steak of choice and tenderize it for this keto chicken fried steak recipe.
  • Egg free option: If you can't have eggs simply dip your cube steak in heavy cream before dipping it in the crunchy coating.
