I love this type of cooking. Freshly prepared meals in less than 30 minutes in one skillet are my specialty. I was a happy child of a home stayed mom and I get used to eat freshly prepared dinners as a child.

Today I'm a working mom and traveling mom but when I am at home I tend to cook easy and nutritious meals for myself and for my family, of course. Why do I do it? Because I love to eat, I love nourishing my family, I am so happy seeing them eating and being healthy and happy.

Tips for cooking veal steaks in keto onion sauce

Cook steaks on the pan or skillet and use lard, butter or olive oil. Definitely . use one of these healthy fats. Cook it until it's done and golden brown on the outside. That brown caramelized color will give the taste to meat.

Keep the fat from cooking the meat. On that fat cook finely diced onion. Onion should be caramelized, golden and translucent. When onion is translucent add other ingredients. On that way your sauce will get deep and rich caramelized onion flavor.

Yes, you are right, onion has quite some carbs but onion is so healthy! From time to time you can treat yourself with a little onion! Despite everything, this meal is low carb and great for keto diet. If you love onion, you will definitely love this keto caramelized onion sauce. Caramelized onion in combination with Mediterranean herbs and cream cheese is wonderful and goes great with these veal steaks. 

You can make it as a separate dish and pour it over any steamed veggies like cauliflower, broccoli or green beans.

This veal steaks with onion gravy are rich in taste so you can serve them with cauliflower mash, broccoli mash or with steamed broccoli or steamed green beans.

I love this dish served with my keto cauliflower gnocchi. They are so easy to prepare and go fantastic with this delicious French onion dip.
