MAKES: 2 servings · PREP TIME: 5 minutes · COOK TIME: 12 minutes There is nothing quite like a perfectly seared rib-eye that has been basted in butter—or, in this case, butter-flavored coconut oil. Generously seasoning the steak with salt and pepper and then cooking...

MAKES: 6 servings · PREP TIME: 20 minutes · COOK TIME: 40 minutes The savory meat sauce in this recipe reminds me of a cross between sloppy Joe mix and beef stew. It is good old-fashioned comfort food at its finest. This dish is a great way to use up leftovers. Have...
SESAME CHICKEN EGG ROLL IN A BOWL
MAKES: 8 servings · PREP TIME: 15 minutes · COOK TIME: 20 minutes Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with the Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe from my book Craveable Keto. I eat it multiple times per week. When I find a recipe I like, I stick with it. I am the...
BEEF RAMEN
MAKES: 4 servings · PREP TIME: 15 minutes · COOK TIME: 20 minutes I certainly don’t want to offend any traditionalists or ancient cultures with my very Americanized low-carb version of ramen, but ramen has been one of my favorite foods ever since I started eating...
