Keto Pork Tenderloin

Leave a reply

Keto Pork TenderloinKeto Pork Tenderloin. So, I have been working on a few Covid-19 stay at home recipes for two to three people and this keto pork tenderloin is another one. Others include a Cheese Pizza For Two and Beef Tataki. All are very easy to make, absolutely fabulous to eat and may get you some attention. I love, love, love pork tenderloin, I easily eat it every two-three weeks and am always looking for different ways to fix it with different sauces to enhance it. Keto pork tenderloin is a winner, winner porky dinner. I fixed some whole roasted-in-olive oil cloves of garlic for another new recipe coming soon so I used it to garnish for the picture but I used garlic paste in the recipe which is a heck of a lot easier and fewer carbs. If you love garlic, the whole cloves atop the dish is a pretty stunning presentation and  you are left with some lovely garlic-infused oil to use at some later date.

Maybe the best reason to make this, if you do it right is that the pork can be made in a skillet with no oven use and yes, I’m betting it would be good done on the grill too.

Pork Tenderloin
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Pork Tenderloin (about 1-1¼ Lbs.)
  2. 2 T Olive Oil (Or Butter Separated)
  3. ¼ C Minced Onions (Or Shallots)
  4. 1 T Garlic Paste***
  5. 2-3 T Coarsely Ground Black Pepper (Fresh Is Always Better)
  6. 2 T Red Wine
  7. 2 t Beef Base Or To Taste (Yes, Chicken Base Will Work As Well)
  8. ½ C Heavy Cream
  9. Parsley To Garnish
Instructions
  1. Heavily coat all sides of your pork tenderloin with pepper and bring to room temperature.
  2. In small skillet on medium-low heat, melt 1 T fat, add onion and cook until translucent.
  3. Add wine and slowly reduce until about ½ T remains and it won’t take long.
  4. Add beef base, garlic & heavy cream and slowly reduce to desired consistency.
  5. On medium heat and in a larger skillet melt last T of fat. Add tenderloin and cook about 4-5 minutes, then turn and cook another 4-5 minutes.
  6. Turn onto each side and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. The idea is to not overcook the meat and when sliced, it should have a very distinct pink color in the center. There is nothing as bad as an overcooked pork tenderloin.
  7. Slice on the diagonal, plate, and get ready for some good eats.
  8. Dab on sauce and garnish with parsley.

Notes
  1. I like my pork tenderloin quite pink in the center which keeps it fall-apart-tender to cut. If you like yours completely grey inside then do it a minute or so longer on each side.
  2. If your tenderloin is very large you can always butterfly and flatten it. As you can see from my pic, mine are small, come to me butchered as seen, and do not need butterflying.

Low Carb Cheese Pizza

Leave a reply

Low Carb Cheese PizzaLow Carb Cheese PizzaLow Carb Cheese Pizza. I have wanted to do a low carb cheese pizza for a while and today was the day. It will easily feed three adults and if you have children, cut it into eight wedges instead six, it will feed them as well. I have given the nutritionals for 3 ways to combine pieces.

This is a thin crust pizza and yes, it gets crispy enough to pick it up by the piece. I have shown a pic of the bottom which gets even a bit crispier when put back into the oven to finish melting the cheese. If truth be told I like my cheese a little runnier than shown but I have to say it sure looks pretty in the picture and it was crispy good.

 So I, like most everyone else, am sort of stuck at home with this crummy Covid-19 stuff. Not because I wouldn’t go out when I want to, but because there are not many places left to go except to the grocery store and I am only doing that every 8-9 days. It used to be weekly on Wednesday because of senior day at two of the places I go but they have extended senior day to everyday and I really didn’t always need to go on Wednesday.

Low carb cheese pizza is another Covid-19 dinner and I hope you enjoy it. This is the recipe for the dry Italian Herbs that I use but any herb mixture you like will work just fine.

Keto Shrimp De Jonghe

Keto Shrimp De Jonghe

Leave a reply

Keto Shrimp De JongheKeto Shrimp De JongheKeto Shrimp De Jonghe.  According to record this is a famous dish coming from…Chicago and I’m not sure I care where it came from, but it is truly quite divine. The original recipe was made with tons of butter and bread crumbs and about the only thing I have changed is the breadcrumbs. A cook always mixes and matches spices to their own liking, this is mine, and danged good if I do say so myself.

The idea is that the shrimp be swimming in a buttery breadcrumbed, herby pool of fatty unctuousness and this keto shrimp De Jonghe is all that. Now, do pork rinds taste like bread crumbs? No certainly not, but man, they do make a fabulous stand-in. I had half a mind to try it with Carbalose Bread Crumbs and I’m glad I didn’t as the dish is absolutely perfect the way I tested and then wrote it.

So here we go. Keto shrimp De Jonghe. It’s very easy to make and quite a satisfying keto meal.

Print
Ingredients
  1. 1¼-1½ Lbs Peeled Raw Shrimp
  2. 12 T Soft Butter (1½ Sticks)
  3. 1 C Pork Rind Dust***
  4. 1 Small Minced Shallot
  5. 1½ T Garlic Paste***
  6. ½ C Sherry
  7. 1 T Dried Parsley
  8. 1 T Dried Chives
  9. 1½ t Dried Thyme
  10. 1 t Salt
  11. ¼ t Cayenne Pepper
  12. ¼ t Paprika
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Add all ingredients except shrimp into a food processor and process into a paste.
  3. Peel shrimp, including the tail, and lay closely together in a baking dish. With a spoon, dollop butter mixture over all shrimp and spread to cover.
  4. Bake about 18-20 minutes until bubbly around edges.
  5. 4 Servings As Dinner
  6. 606 Calories, 44.0g Protein, 42.8g Fat, 4.0g Carbs, 0.0g Fiber, 4.0g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Dish is probably best eaten with a knife and a spoon otherwise you are defeating the sauce completely. As you can see I first did mine in an individual casserole dish that contained the buttery mixture perfectly and if you don't have these I would suggest serving in a bowl. (3rd Pic)
  2. I was a little worried that the sauce would not stay in the dish while baking…It was close.
  3. This would probably be very good served over spaghetti squash and in my bowl, I put it over cauliflower grits with green beans.
  4. Can be served at a dinner party as an appetizer for 8.

Keto Beef Tataki

Leave a reply

Keto Beef TatakiKeto Beef TatakiKeto Beef Tataki. I often scour the internet for recipes I have never tried and keto beef tataki is one of those dishes, it sounded terrific, I had all the ingredients on hand, so I decided to try it. OMG it is unbelievable and seriously, not difficult to make at all assuming you have a mandoline for paper thin slicing of the vegetables. The beef is flash sauteéd, cooled, marinated for four hours, and then thinly sliced cold by hand.

The original recipe was kind of a sexy dinner for two people, I left it at that and it could also be used as an appetizer for six. I doubt you would be interested in fixing this as a family dinner, but it can easily be doubled for a dinner party of four to six. I am telling you THIS. IS. GOOD. And despite the list of ingredients it is relatively very, easy. The only thing I changed is the use of honey and the small amount is not needed with the use of an alternative sweetener.

I am writing this recipe in the middle of the Covid19 Pandemic so, if you either have the ingredients or access to them, keto beef tataki is a really nice dinner to fix for someone special that you are cooped up with during this God awful mess we have and are still in.

If by any chance you cut your own whole tenderloin there is a hunk of meat called the wing muscle, it’s usually about a pound, is perfect for this dish, and what I used which I then sliced in half lengthwise to get the second picture up-top.

If you don’t eat with chop sticks (and you should at least try) then this is also a great plate to eat like an animal…very slowly…with your fingers.

Keto Lemon Parmesan Dip

Leave a reply

Keto Lemon Parmesan DipKeto Lemon Parmesan DipKeto Lemon Parmesan Dip can be used equally as a dip or a killer salad dressing. Keto lemon Parmesan dip takes about 5 minutes to make and about four hours to “marry” the flavors in the fridge. I use it as a dip with low carb crudité veggies and yes, even as a salad dressing with the addition of olive oil and a bit of water to thin it . I guarantee it will not last in your refrigerator any longer that it will take you to use it. Try it on a sautéed chicken thigh~it’s to die for. With my own fried in lard pork pellets, Oh Yeah.

Keto Horseradish Dill Cream

Keto Horseradish Dill CreamKeto Horseradish Dill CreamKeto Horseradish Dill CreamKeto Horseradish Dill CreamKeto Horseradish Dill Cream. This keto horseradish dill cream is about as easy a recipe to make as I can think of and takes about 5 minutes at most. It is fabulous on fish of any kind and especially with lox or smoked salmon. It is quite piquant and does not take much to get a whole bunch of flavor. I also use it as a dip for chicken skins, shishito peppers, cucumber coins or anything else you use traditional crudité veggies for. It is just a winner all around if you like horseradish. Also fabulous on a salad as dressing and of course again, with any fish.

Low Carb Shrimp & Green Beans

Keto Shrimp & Green BeansLow Carb Shrimp & Green BeansLow Carb Shrimp & Green Beans. I consider this low carb shrimp & green beans dish to be Middle Eastern because it has so many Middle Eastern elements in it like um…pretty much everything. It is put together very easily assuming you have Cauliflower Grits in your freezer, which I always do. In fact, when I am down to a couple of servings I get a couple more heads and make more. They freeze beautifully and can be defrosted quickly to be used in so many ways like Grillades Over Cheesy Grits,  Cajun Shrimp & Grits,  Tater Tots,  Polenta Cakes,  Shrimp Étouffée  and Shrimp & Grits to name a few.

Low Carb Shrimp Toast

Leave a reply

Keto Shrimp ToastKeto Shrimp ToastLow Carb Shrimp Toast. So, I have been watching this series on NetFlix called The Chef’s Show and one of the many recipes that has been done was simply called Shrimp Toast. I’m thinking that not only did it seem easy, but something very, very tasty so…I thought I’d give it a try. I already had all the ingredients that were called for and this is my result. If you ever do watch it, you’ll see that mine is not too much different except for gochujang. Koreans use  gochujang for just about everything and I don’t have any, let alone would I use it. It is very sugary and hot so if you want a spicier or sweeter keto shrimp toast then you could use a hot sauce and a bit of sugarfree sweetener of some kind. Now, if you do not make Carbalose Bread, or some version of low carb bread you will have to punt on that ingredient and perhaps serve it in a bowl but I did use it and the low carb shrimp toast that resulted was divine. The idea of the bread is to soak up all those heavenly juices and yes, it does do that.  I think using Cauliflower Grits, which I used the following night, would be the best food option under your shrimp. I make and freeze cauliflower grits so I can use them when wanted.

The original recipe used head-on prawns and I’m thinking you may not be interested in that so yes, I did use peeled shrimp. It of course looked kinda messy and if you like that messy stuff then by all means get head-on shrimp.

Keto Caramelized Mustard Cream

Leave a reply

Keto Caramelized Mustard CreamKeto Caramelized Mustard CreamKeto Caramelized Mustard Cream.  I have pretty much always said that a sauce can make the meat, and this keto caramelized mustard cream is one of  those sauces. I have shown it with a beautiful black peppercorned pork rib chop and it is equally as comfortable with a steak, fish, and chicken. It’s really is an all-bases-covered sauce. I put it under the chop so you could see the gorgeous cracked peppercorn crust (which not only tastes incredible but also keeps the meat moist) but it’s easily comfortable smothering a piece of meat so, top or bottom, your choice.

In case anyone is wondering what that beautiful stuff with macadamia nuts on it is, well, it’s a Keto Bacon Broccoli Salad with everything but the kitchen sink in it and…it’s super easy to make.

Keto Stuffed Mini Peppers

Leave a reply

Keto Stuffed Mini PeppersKeto Stuffed Mini PeppersKeto Stuffed Mini Peppers. I am unable to see how large your mini peppers are, as they come in different sizes so, I am going to use kind of an average in telling you how many you may need. These keto stuffed mini peppers are very easy to make, can be table ready in 10-15 minutes, and if you have a bit of help, even less time than that. I happened to pick up a bag of mixed colored peppers and the next thing ya know, in another store, there are seedless red minis which I would have purchased…If only I had known. These little puppies can be used as an appetizer or a replacement for a salad and no matter your choice they are good, good, good and…if you have kids & don’t make them too spicy, they will love them too.

Keto Bacon Broccoli Salad

Leave a reply

Keto Bacon Broccoli SaladKeto Bacon Broccoli SaladKeto Bacon Broccoli SaladKeto Bacon Broccoli Salad.  I am here to tell you that this salad in a keto winner. It is very easy to make, piquant beyond belief, and because of its high fat content, is a perfect adjunct to any keto dinner. Really, do not have any long diatribe about this keto bacon broccoli salad recipe…the proof is in the eating.

As you look at the pic I hope you are noticing that I cut my broccoli pieces very small and there is a reason for this. If your pieces are too large, they are difficult to get into your mouth without smearing it about your face. As a kid I probably didn’t care about it and as an adult, I don’t like it. The peppers are also cut into smaller pieces. With that said, you may cut them any way you like cause this salad is going to be yours-not mine.

Notes
  1. Do toast your nuts as it makes all the difference not only is texture but in taste as well. Sliced toasted almonds will also work but macadamia absolutely do make the salad shine.
  2. Please don't cut off the broccoli stems as they are as usable as the crowns. Just be sure to cut them small enough.
  3. The day I ate this I had fixed myself three chicken tenders flash fried in browned butter with a little salt and pepper and even at the time I realized it would have been so easy to have chopped up the chicken, topped the salad and called dinner good to go. Well, there is always a next time and...you can see, I fixed this as a luncheon with a friend a week later and...this time I had the chicken for it.

Keto Crab Dip

Leave a reply

Keto Crab DipKeto Crab DipKeto Crab DipKeto Crab DipKeto Crab Dip. Was lucky enough to get my hands on some raw chicken skins and I was off to the races with this keto crab dip recipe. It’s the first time I have gotten skins in any number and I kinda wanted to pig out with them.  Now of course this can be scooped with any low carb vegetable but the fried chicken skins?…To die for. Keto crab dip by itself is very easy to make and shouldn’t take more than 30-40 minutes or so and most of that time is just letting the veggies, herbs and spices cook.  I used Parmesan cheese as my topping but pork rind dust could just as easily be used too and surprise, I purchased my crab meat at Safeway. Yes, there a few things I get there and crab is only one of them plus, it comes in handy ½ lb. containers.

  1. DO NOT use imitation crab in this. It is nothing but starchy carbs that hold it together.
