Instrucciones

MAKE THE GRAVY In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add the onion, salt, and thyme and cook until the onion is tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the cauliflower florets and broth and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the gravy cook, covered, until the cauliflower is fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender and blend until very smooth.

Stir in the black pepper. Cover and keep warm until ready to use.

MAKE THE STEAKS In a bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, 2 teaspoons of the salt, garlic powder, onion powder,

paprika, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Using a fork, stir to combine and break up any clumps.

In a separate shallow bowl, combine the eggs and whisk until well combined.

Pat the steaks dry then sprinkle on both sides with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and / teaspoon black pepper.

In a large Dutch oven, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat.

Just before frying the individual steaks, dip them in the egg wash, then dredge them through the flour mixture to evenly coat.

Shake off excess.

Working in batches, fry each steak in the oil until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Use a sturdy spatula to transfer the fried steaks to a wire rack to cool.

To serve, smother the steaks with the gravy and garnish with a sprinkle of thyme and a couple cracks of black pepper.
