Keto Chicken Fried Steak with Cauliflower Gravy
Nothing says Southern comfort food like Chicken Fried Steak and Gravy! Did you know that traditional recipes for this dish can call for up to two cups of wheat flour?! Instead, enjoy this Keto recipe that only has 5 net carbs per serving. Cube steak is typically made from round steak (the rump of the beef) that is mechanically tenderized, making an otherwise tough cut of beef more tender. These cube steak cutlets are crusted with almond flour, ground up pork rinds, and then pan-fried. The steaks are paired with a rich and delicious cauliflower gravy guaranteed to please the entire family. The steak and gravy are served over arugula but would also be great with roasted broccoli, asparagus, or additional cauliflower. Why is the recipe called chicken fried steak when there is no chicken in the recipe? A breaded piece of round steak is called "chicken fried" not because it uses chicken, but because it refers to the style of cooking used to prepare it. The tenderized piece of steak is fried like that of fried chicken in that it is dredged in seasoned flour and egg for the coating and then fried in oil.
