Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound cube steaks (Cut into 4 steaks)
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (Melted and measured solid.)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (See notes.)
  • 4 ounces ground breakfast sausage (Optional if you want sausage gravy. See recipe notes for how to incorporate it.)

Instruction

  • Set up a cooking station and add the almond flour, parmesan cheese, and all of the spices and seasonings to a bowl large enough to dredge the steaks. Keep a moist kitchen towel on hand. Your hands will get sticky.
  • Add the whipping cream and eggs to a separate large bowl and whisk.
  • Dredge the cube steak in the almond flour mixture, and then the cream and eggs, and again in the almond flour mixture.
  • Set each cube steak aside.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan on medium high heat. Add the avocado oil and melted butter. Be sure you have enough to fill about 1/4 of inch high. Adjust the amount of oil if necessary.
  • Add the cube steaks. Cook in batches if needed. Do not crowd the pan. Fry each side for about 3 minutes each until crisp.
  • Remove the chicken fried steaks and set aside. Adjust the heat on the pan to medium and add the heavy cream for the gravy along with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir continuously for 2 minutes.
  • Add the xanthan gum to a small bowl. Gather about 2 tablespoons of the gravy mixture from the pan and add it to the bowl with the xanthan gum.
  • It will create a thick and sticky mixture. Add the mixture to the pan and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from heat. The gravy will thicken upon standing.
