Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef cube steaks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup ghee
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned, full fat)
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until well combined.
Pat dry the beef cube steaks with paper towels to remove moisture.
Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, dip into the egg mixture, then back into the flour to ensure fully coated.
Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once ghee is hot, add the steaks to the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary.
Remove steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce heat to low and add more ghee if needed. Add chicken broth and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with a tablespoon of water to form a slurry.
Slowly stir in the coconut milk, arrowroot slurry, and nutritional yeast into the skillet. Whisk continuously until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Season the gravy with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chicken fried steaks topped with the dairy-free gravy.
