Keto Country Fried Steak (or Chicken Fried Steak)
Country fried steak or chicken fried steak: what's the difference? It's all in the gravy. Use my keto brown gravy for country fried steak, or my keto white gravy for chicken fried steak.
Crispy, juicy and Southern, without the carb overload. Don't flip more than once or fry more than two at a time, or the breading will fall off.
