Simple Keto Gyro - From Fresh Pork Ham

This keto gyro is simple to prepare and brings the typical, delicious greek flavor & smell into your kitchen. It's satiating and suitable for keto & low carb diets, especially low carb high protein or carnivorous ones. All it needs is a nice piece of fresh pork, seasonings and some fat for marinading & frying the meat.

CourseMain Dish
CuisineCarnivore, Greek, Low Carb High Protein
Keyworddairy free, fried meat, marinated, one pan meal, pan fried, pork, pork ham, spicy

Servings3 people

Prep Time15 minutes

Cook Time15 minutes

Passive Time2 hours

Ingredients

900gram pork hamfresh, without bone - one piece
35gram lardalternatively: coconut oil or heatable olive oil

Seasonings

2teaspoon(s) Salt
2teaspoon(s) Pepper
2teaspoon(s) Paprika
3teaspoon(s) Thymedried
2teaspoon(s) Rosemarydried
2teaspoon(s) Marjoramdried
1teaspoon(s) Corianderdried
1teaspoon(s) Cumindried
0.5teaspoon(s) Garlic powder
0.5teaspoon(s) Cayenne pepperor other chili powder (optional)

Instructions

First, put the piece of pork ham into the freezer for 1.5 to 2 hours. You want it to be frozen, but still cuttable. This makes the next step very easy
When the meat is stiff, take it out of the freezer and cut it into thin slices
After that, put the sliced meat into a big bowl & add all seasonings. Just spread them on top of the meat
Now, melt the lard or coconut oil in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. If you are using heatable olive oil you don't need to melt it, of course. Then, pour the fat onto the meat and immediately start to mix everything thoroughly
Afterwards, let the seasoned meat stand for about 10-15 minutes to give it a chance to soak in some seasoning. The longer you let it stand the better
Next, preheat a pan (with your preferred fat for frying) to low-medium heat. Add the meat and let it fry for about 5-10 minutes with a lid on
Finally, remove the lid and fry for another 5-10 minutes while stirring occasionally until you have some crispy bits and roasting flavors (browned meat). Take care that you don't fry it for too long as fresh pork ham is pretty tender and can dry out fast

Recipe Notes

To make it even better, you may prepare & marinade the meat in the morning or one day in advance and let it soak in the seasonings for a longer period of time. Simply let it stand for 1-2 hours or longer instead of 10-15 minutes. If you prepare it a day in advance, put the bowl into your fridge and cover it with cling film.

The seasonings are amazing for marinading pork chops or spice up some ground beef, too.
In addition, you could use pork loin instead of ham or try it with other cuts.

Serve with any keto friendly side dish you like, e.g. salad, fried / baked vegetables, some eggs or simply a low carb condiment.

KetoKookin' — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 10:05:34 +0000

Shrimp Stuffed Meatballs - Keto Shrimp Balls

Surf and Turf in meatball form? Make it happen with these shrimp stuffed meatballs that I created. They are a perfect low carb alternative to usual shrimp balls, taste delicious and go well with fried vegetables or some avocado on the side.

CourseMain Dish
Keywordbeef, butter, fried ground beef, fried meat, ground beef, lemon juice, pan fried, seafood, soy sauce

Servings4 big meatballs

Prep Time5 minutes

Cook Time35 minutes

Ingredients

Shrimps

150gram shrimpsfrozen or fresh - peeled & deveined - small shrimps or chopped big ones
50gram butter
10milliliter lemon juice
5milliliter soy saucetamari, gluten free
1tablespoon(s) sichuan pepper
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder

Meatball Mixture

500gram ground beef
2 eggs
1teaspoon(s) Salt
Pepper
Cumin
1 onionsdiced

Instructions

Shrimps

First, put the shrimps into a pan on low-medium heat and (if frozen) let them thaw for 2-3 minutes before adding the butter. If you use fresh shrimps add the butter and shrimps simultaneously
Let the shrimps cook in the butter for about 5 minutes, then add all remaining ingredients for the shrimps (lemon juice, soy sauce, sichuan pepper, salt, pepper & a pinch of garlic powder)
Now, stir everything and cook it on low heat for about 10 minutes while stirring occasionally. Cook until the water from the shrimps and butter is evaporated and the shrimps get a light golden brown color

Meatballs

While the shrimps are cooking, prepare the meatball mixture. Add the ground beef, eggs & seasonings to a bowl and mix them thoroughly with your hands or a hand mixer with dough hooks
When you have a homogeneous mixture, add the onions and mix everything once more
Now, split the mixture into 4-5 parts, put them onto a plate or breadboard and gently press them into -about 3/4 cm (or 1/3 inch) thick- patties
When the shrimps are finished, place them in the middle of the beef patties. If you like it a bit spicier add some of the sichuan pepper from the pan, too
Now, wrap the patties' edges to the top until everything is closed and use your hands to gently press them into a ball shape
Finally, fry the meatballs evenly for about 15 minutes on low-medium heat first and 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat afterwards in order to get a nice brown color and some roasting flavor

Recipe Notes

For a dairy free alternative, just replace the butter with coconut oil or lard.

I also added some mayonnaise and an avocado that I sprinkled with some salt & pepper on the side.

If you want a great sauce to go with your meatballs simply add about 150 gram cream to the pan with the remaining grease after frying and taking the meatballs out.
Then, let the cream cook on medium heat while stirring until it is reduced to your desired thickness. This works great with coconut milk/cream, too.
In case you don't want to use cream, slice 2-3 onions and cook them on low-medium heat in the remaining grease until they start to dissolve and everything thickens to a sauce.

Instructions

Meatballs

First, mince the chicken hearts and onion in a food processor for about 10 seconds on a high speed
Next, add the remaining ingredients for the meatballs, including seasonings and mince for another 20-30 seconds until it is a homogenous mixture
Preheat a pan with about 30 gram coconut oil, lard or whatever you prefer to medium heat
Use a tablespoon and your other hand to form the meatballs from the mixture and place them in the pan
Turn down the heat to low, put a lid on the pan and fry the meatballs slowly for about 10 minutes, until they start to become solid on the top, too
Now, you can flip and slowly fry them with the lid on for another 5-10 minutes
Finally, set the heat to medium-high and fry the meatballs as evenly as possible from all sides, for about 5 minutes, in order to get a nice brown colour and roasting flavors

Broccoli

While the meatballs are frying, you can easily prepare some oven baked broccoli as a side dish. First, set your oven to 180°C-200°C.
Put the broccoli on a baking tray which goes into the oven. After 5-10 minutes, the broccoli should be thawed and you can sprinkle some salt on top.
Finally, bake it for another 20-25 minutes until it starts to become dark brown on the top and has a slight crispiness.
