Southern Chicken Fried Steak Paleo and Low Carb

A low-carb, grain-free, breaded, and pan-fried, southern chicken fried steak with homemade mushroom gravy.

Two Chicken Fried steaks with mushroom gravy.

Cubed steak that is breaded with grain-free breading, seasonings, and pan-fried in avocado oil. I also included a grain-free low-carb mushroom gravy recipe.

So easy to make this savory comfort food. I served mine with the mushroom gravy, but my son ate his plain, as he does not like gravy, which is strange, even for a picky eater.

Add your favorite mashed cauliflower recipe and you have a tasty southern comfort food meal.

If you don't like mushroom gravy, then you could also use this Easy Keto Gravy Recipe that does not contain any mushrooms.
