Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 2 lb jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined, tails on

American · 40 min · beef · keto, low-carb, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 2 lb sirloin flap steak or steak tips, cut into 1.5-inch chunks
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  1. Pat the beef very dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high until shimmering, about 450F.
  2. Sear the tips in two batches, 90 seconds per side, so the pan stays hot and they brown rather than boil. Pull them at 120F — they finish in the gravy. Set aside on a plate and keep the juices.
  3. Drop the heat to medium-high, add the butter and mushrooms, and cook 6 to 8 minutes without stirring much until they release their water and it evaporates. Only then do they brown.
  4. Add the diced onion and cook 4 minutes, then the garlic and thyme for 1 minute more.
  5. Sprinkle over the flour and cook it out for 90 seconds, then pour in the stock a splash at a time, whisking, followed by the Worcestershire. Simmer 5 minutes until it coats a spoon.
  6. Return the beef and any resting juices, simmer 2 minutes to bring the centers to 135F, and taste for salt. Serve over mashed potato or egg noodles.

  1. Heat the oven to 425F. Scrub the potatoes, prick each a few times with a fork, rub with a little oil and salt, and bake directly on the rack for 55 to 65 minutes, until a knife slides in with no resistance.
  2. While they bake, take the steaks out of the fridge and salt them generously on both sides. Let them sit on a rack at room temperature so the surface dries — a dry steak browns, a wet one steams.
  3. Cook the bacon in a cold skillet over medium heat, 8 to 10 minutes, until it is crisp and the fat has rendered. Drain on paper towel, then crumble.
  4. Wipe the skillet, add the olive oil, and get it ripping hot. Sear the steaks 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, pressing them flat for the first minute so the whole face makes contact. Pull them at 130F and rest 10 minutes before slicing across the grain.
  5. Simmer the corn with 3 tablespoons of the butter and a big pinch of salt for 5 minutes, until it is glossy and the butter clings.
  6. Split the hot potatoes lengthwise, fluff the insides with a fork, and load with the remaining butter, sour cream, cheddar, bacon, and sliced scallions. Serve each plate with a steak and a mound of corn.
