Keto Queso Smothered Steak with Avocado

Charred strips of steak are drenched in a scratch-made queso sauce and paired with fresh avocado for healthy fats. You can enjoy this main dish component with a side dish such as Carb Manager Mexican Rice or one of Carb Manager’s many keto salads.

    Delicious. I added some mushrooms to the sauce that needed using up.

      How much queso did you use on each steak?

        The recipe is written for 2. Just divide all the sauce in half over 2 servings.
