Keto Chicken Fried Steak. My use of Ground Pork Rinds has almost gotten to the ridiculous…but not quite. This chicken fried steak is so easy and nearly zero carbs. When I was a kid my mom used to fix us minute steaks, minus any gravy, and today you can’t even find minute steaks. I finally ended up with a ¼ lb “Denver Steak” whatever the heck that is. I lived in Denver, Colorado and there was certainly no such steak when I was there.
A Denver steak is taken from the fattiest part of the chuck and definitely not cubed nor could I get my market to cube it. It seems like a ploy to get more money for a traditionally tougher cut of beef. They didn’t have the equipment to cube my expensive steak so…I did it myself with my Norpro Meat Pounder and Dough Docker. You know, if some kitchen gadget has only one use I don’t want it, if it plays with a couple of different hats then maybe, and if it does three jobs…then sign me up.
I thought ¼ lb of meat wouldn’t be enough but all the other stuff I had coupled with the high fat content of the heavy cream, was plenty enough. Yes, you can have a fabulous keto chicken fried steak in life-you just found it here.

- If you used a cube or minute steak DO NOT pound it as they are usable from the git-go. They will also take less time to cook.
- Because I ended up with a tender piece of meat (the Denver steak) I did not wait for the tell-tale blood to come to the surface. Since I like my meat rare it turned out about medium rare which was perfect.
- Lord forbid I was out of mashed cauliflower so I paired spaghetti squash mixed with butter & poppy seeds and what a great combo it turned out to be.
- Very high fat but < than 1g carbs.
