Ingredients
  

  • 4 beef cube steaks
  • 1 teaspoon flakey sea salt
  • 1/3 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups whey protein 125g
  • 1/3 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/3 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Season the steaks with 1/2 tsp salt split between 4 steaks and 1/3 tsp black pepper.
  • Place the whey protein, spices and the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt into a large dish. Add the eggs into a separate dish.
  • Dip one steak into the whey mix to coat on both sides, then into the egg, shaking off any excess, then repeat so each steak has two coats of whey and one coat of egg. Repeat for all 4 steaks. Any remaining whey mix keep to one side and add if you find they've gone a little transparent after chilling.
  • Place the meat onto a cooling wrack with a baking tray underneath and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes. Option to place on a parchment lined baking tray but you will need to sprinkle with a little more whey mix before frying as the egg will soak up the whey.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place enough oil to cover the bottom of a deep sided non stick frying pan or skillet (roughly one cup) and heat on medium high. Once the oil begins to simmer, add the steaks, two at a time for even cooking, turn the heat down to medium and cook until golden on both sides, roughly 1.5 minutes per side.
  • Remove the steaks and place on a clean parchment lined baking tray. Repeat for the two remaining steaks then place the tray in the oven for 10 minutes until the the steaks are cooked though, or to your liking.
  • Serve with keto country gravy, if desired.
