Ingredients

• 4 pieces venison steaks
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Begin by pounding the venison steaks with a meat tenderizer until they are about 1/4 inch thick. This will ensure even cooking and improved tenderness.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully blended.

Step 4

Dip each piece of venison into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off before moving the steak to the almond flour mixture.

Step 5

Press the venison into the almond flour mixture, making sure it is thoroughly coated on both sides. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks well.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is shimmering, carefully place the coated venison steaks in the skillet.

Step 7

Cook the venison for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Ensure the meat is cooked through to your desired level of doneness.

Step 8

Remove the venison from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the low-carb chicken fried venison hot, alongside your choice of low-carb sides such as cauliflower mash or a fresh green salad.
