Equipment
- Shallow bowls (for breading)
Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ¾ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 eggs
- 24 ounces cube steaks
- ¼ cup ghee or avocado oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- In a separate bowl beat together eggs.
- Tenderize the meat with a meat hammer, pounding until it is about ¼ inch thick.
- Dip the meat into the eggs, and then coat with the almond flour mixture. Press the mixture into the meat.
- Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be between 320 degrees and 340 degrees. A drop of almond flour should sizzle when it touches the oil, but not burn.
- Add the steaks, and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove from the pan and put on a rack over a baking sheet. Tent with foil to keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium and add beef broth, cream, garlic powder, and xanthan gum. Whisk to combine.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to medium low, and stir in sour cream.
- Serve the chicken fried steak with the gravy on top.
