INGREDIENTS:

  • 400 g sirloin steak

  • 200 g keto pasta shells
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • Parsley
  • ½ tsp. regular paprika
  • 50 g parmesan cheese

INGREDIENT NOTES:

STEAK:

  • Sirloin steak is ideal for this recipe since it is tender and sears rapidly. You can also use strip steak or ribeye. Cut into bite-sized cubes to ensure uniform frying.

KETO PASTA SHELLS:

  • Use Konjac, lupin flour, or almond flour to make keto pasta shells. These pasta shells contain low carbs and have same texture as traditional pasta. They can soften quickly, so cook them gently.

OLIVE OIL:

  • Olive oil aids in searing the steak & offers a deep flavor basis. Additionally, it makes sauce creamier.

ONIONS:

  • The onion provides the slightly sweet & complex taste. It counteracts the paprika smokiness. Cut it finely to guarantee that it melts into the cream.

GARLIC:

  • Garlic adds a tangy, fragrant kick. It adds savory depth and mellows when sautéed. Use fresh cloves for optimal flavor.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • The sauce is rich, smooth, and thick due to the heavy cream. It creates a smooth texture by blending with paprika. We don’t have to use light cream as it have chances to get curdle.

SMOKED PAPRIKA:

  • The smoked paprika adds a strong, earthy smokiness. It enhances steak quite nicely without being overbearing. Ordinary paprika softens and balances the flavor.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • Naturally, parmesan cheese thickens the sauce. Its nutty, salty flavor complements the cream base. Pre-shredded parmesan is not nearly as effective as freshly grated.

SALT & BLACK PEPPER:

  • Salt and pepper are necessary for a balanced flavor. Liberally season the meat before searing. Finally, adjust for the sauce.

FRESH PARSLEY:

  • We garnish the dish with fresh parsley to provide the refreshing taste and hue in the dish. It penetrates the cream’s creaminess. Before serving, sprinkle on top.
