Keto Wellington is a savory and flavorful dish with a reduced-carb content. This is prepared with many ingredients, such as beef tenderloin, garlic, thyme, baking powder, Dijon mustard, almond flour, black pepper, mushrooms, salt, cream cheese, olive oil, mozzarella cheese, and egg. Sometimes you don’t need to buy all these components from the food stores; some of them are already available in your home, so you can easily use them. We can make this dish as a quick dinner. This dish easily stores for 20-30 days in the freezer. The Wellington contains 520 kcal of caloric content and has 4 g of net carbs in one slice of a single serving. We require at least one hour and five minutes to prepare it by baking. Keto Wellington is perfect for weekend meals, lunches, gatherings, short parties, big events, occasions, and dinners. Serve this dish with the garlic butter asparagus, keto peppercorn sauce, or avocado arugula.

- 1 1/2 cups of almond flour

INGREDIENT NOTES:
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- It helps to make a smooth dough because it melts easily and provides stretchiness. Replace it with provolone or mild cheddar, both of which work well with a small adjustment.
MUSHROOMS:
- They give this dish moisture, umami flavor, and a strong taste. You can use chopped zucchini or eggplant, but cook them thoroughly to remove the excess water.
DIJON MUSTARD:
- It maintains the beef’s low-carb content while balancing its rich and sharp flavor. Instead of using Dijon mustard, I use whole-grain mustard or sugar-free yellow mustard.
BEEF:
- Beef provides a soft texture without including carbs because it contains high-quality protein. Swap it out for the sirloin or ribeye, which may need to be cooked for a long time.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- We make the crust using almond flour instead of wheat while maintaining a low-carb diet. Replace it with sunflower seed flour or a small amount of coconut flour, which also works but with a light alteration.

- Cook it in the olive oil till all the sides get brown.
- Then bring it out from the oil and gently garnish it with the Dijon mustard.

- In a dry skillet, cook till the mixture thickens and the moisture evaporates, and then fully cool.
- Melt the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese till they become smoother.
- Prepare a dough with the mixture of baking powder, almond flour, and egg.
- Take the two sheets of parchment and roll the dough in rectangle.
