Keto Chorrillana (Chilean Steak and Eggs Loaded Fries)

Picture this: you and your friends are hanging out late at night, munching on a platter of french fries loaded with steak slices, caramelized onions, and sunny-side-up eggs. Nope, this isn’t a dream, and yes, these loaded fries are Keto-friendly. What we just described is chorrillana, which is a traditional Chilean dish.

Chorrillana has many versions where other ingredients like chorizo, cheese, or sauces are added. In this recipe, we are recreating the simple version of this dish, but Keto style. We guarantee you, this is one of the best Chilean Keto recipes that you will try.

How to make Keto french fries?

While you can make fries using low-carb vegetables, we don’t think it is fair for this indulgent meal. We are making crispy “ french fries” from scratch using only three ingredients. First, we prepare the dough by mixing almond flour, xanthan gum, and water. Then we roll it out, slice it into “fries,” and bake until golden and crispy. These Keto fries are easy to make and are good enough to be eaten alone with a sprinkle of salt.

What steak cut should you use for this Keto chorrillana?

You can use your favorite steak cut, but it is usually prepared with a New York strip or filet mignon. However, it is essential to marinate it in tamari, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and garlic overnight to develop a beautiful flavor.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Fortunately, it is! The fries contain no wheat or gluten, and the marinade uses tamari instead of soy sauce. This dish is also dairy-free and high in protein.

Can you adapt this low-carb dish to a vegetarian diet?

While this isn’t traditional, we don’t see why you can’t create a vegetarian version of chorrillana. Mushrooms would be an excellent substitute for the steak. Slice chestnut or portabello mushrooms, and marinate them for a couple of hours. Strain the mushroom, then pan fry them on high heat until golden. Serve the rest of the dish as is.
