Aunt Rocky’s Pan Seared Lamb Steak With Zero Carb Pan Gravy (Gluten Free, Low Carb)

Multiply recipe as needed for however many lamb steaks you’re cooking. This gravy comes together very fast. Have all ingredients at hand and ready to add.

Heat a cast iron or similar pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water skips over the pan. Put lamb steak in the skillet, and reduce heat to medium. Sear about 2 minutes on each side.

Lightly salt and pepper each side of the steak. Top steak with 1/4 tablespoon of butter and a sprinkle of the rosemary. Cover pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook another 2–3 minutes. Flip steak and repeat adding butter and rosemary. Cover and cook another 2–3 minutes (depending on how done you like your lamb). Remove steak to serving plate to rest while you make the gravy.

Still on medium-low heat, melt remaining butter in the pan. Add oat fiber and stir quickly. Remove pan from heat. Roux should be very thick.

Add milk substitute and cream, along with a little bit more salt and pepper. Stir until well blended. Add remaining rosemary, reserving a little bit for garnish.

The gravy should be done at this point. There is no need to keep cooking it unless it seems too thin. If too thick, add a little bit more milk substitute.

Pour gravy over lamb steak and serve.

Notes:
1. Oat fiber is made from the hull of the oat plant, not the grain. It is 100% fiber. For that reason most ketoers find it acceptable. I use Lifesource Oat Fiber 500 to assure a product free from gluten cross contamination. If gluten is not an issue for you, use whatever brand is cheapest.
2. I don’t get any kickback for products I use in my recipes. Brand names are included only to assure more accurate nutritional estimates. Nutrition information is based on My Fitness Pal’s online recipe analyzer. The recipe is stored there and available to MFP users for logging in their food diaries.
