heavy cream

almond flour

🥗Healthier: coconut flour

💰Cheaper: pork rinds

Pork rinds provide a crunchy coating with fewer carbs.

Crush the pork rinds in a bag until there are no big chunks, then measure out 2 cups onto a plate.

Flatten each cube steak using parchment paper or a gallon bag and a heavy object until evenly cooked.

Set up the breading station with 1.5 cups of almond flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper in one plate.

In another bowl, whisk together 4 eggs and a splash of heavy whipping cream for the egg wash.

Dip each piece of meat into the almond flour, shake off excess, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat with crushed pork rinds, pressing down to adhere. Set aside on a plate.

Refrigerate the coated steaks for 15 minutes.

Cook chopped bacon in a pan until crispy, then add canned green beans, season with salt and pepper, and keep warm on low heat.

Heat olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan until hot, then fry the coated steaks until crispy on both sides, adding more oil if necessary.

In a saucepan, melt 3 ounces of cream cheese, then add paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder, whisking until smooth.

Add 1 cup of chicken broth and 1.5 cups of heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture, stirring well.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then boil for 10 minutes while stirring to prevent sticking.

Add 1/3 cup of mozzarella cheese to the gravy and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until thickened.

Plate the green beans with bacon, then place the chicken-fried steak on top and pour the cream gravy over it.
