Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cubed steak
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Pat the cubed steak pieces dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Dredge each piece of steak in the almond flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat again in the almond flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter is hot and foaming, add the coated steak pieces, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Transfer cooked steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
For the gravy, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Sprinkle xanthan gum over the broth mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Allow the gravy to simmer and thicken until it reaches your desired consistency.
Season the gravy with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chicken fried steaks drizzled with gravy and enjoy!
