Chicken fried steak and gravy

Ingredients

• 4 cubed steaks
• sea salt and pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 cup crushed pork rinds
• 1 cup powdered Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup ghee or coconut oil

Gravy

• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1 garlic clove minced
• 4 ounces cream cheese softened
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup beef broth
• chives or parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

1. Season cubed steak with salt and pepper. Only use a pinch of salt since both the Parmesan cheese and pork rinds will add lots of salt.
2. Whisk together eggs and heavy cream in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
3. In a shallow dish, combine pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well and transfer half of it to a second shallow dish.
4. Coat cubed steaks in pork rind mixture, dip in egg and then coat in the second pork rind mixture.
5. Place ghee in cast-iron pan over medium heat. When hot, add cubed steak. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove steak to a plate.
6. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of grease from pan. Add onion and garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to soften the onion.
7. Add cream cheese and whisk until it is melted. Gradually whisk in beef broth. Simmer gently for a few minutes to thicken. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
8. Serve steak topped with gravy. I like it with Cauliflower mashed.
