Crush 3 ounces of pork rinds in a food processor until fine.

In a shallow bowl, combine crushed pork rinds with 0.5 teaspoon onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; mix with a fork.

In another shallow bowl, have 2 beaten eggs ready for dredging.

Take a minute steak, dip it in the egg dredge, then coat it in the pork rind mixture, pressing to ensure it sticks.

Shake off any excess breading and place the coated steak in the air fryer basket that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

Repeat the process for the second steak, placing it in the air fryer with the first one.

Cook the steaks in the air fryer at 400°F for about 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

While the steaks are cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until soft.

Pour in 1.5 cups of beef broth and 0.5 cup of heavy cream into the skillet with the mushrooms.

Sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoon of xanthan gum gently to avoid clumping, and stir to combine.

Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil to activate the xanthan gum and thicken the gravy.

Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Once the steaks are done, remove them from the air fryer and plate them with the mushroom gravy poured over the top.
