Keto Garlic Parmesan Crusted Filet Mignon
Thanksgiving is synonymous with indulgence, but it doesn't have to mean straying from your Keto lifestyle. Our Garlic Parmesan-Crusted Filet Mignon is the answer to a memorable, Keto-friendly Thanksgiving feast. As one of the stars among Keto Thanksgiving Recipes, this dish is a testament to the fact that you can savor delectable food while maintaining your Low-Carb commitment.
What steak cut can you use for this recipe?
For this recipe, we recommend using beef tenderloin, often referred to as filet mignon. It's a lean, tender cut that's perfect for a Keto diet. The filet mignon's inherent tenderness and mild flavor pair beautifully with the savory, crunchy garlic parmesan crust. However, you can also replace it with sirloin.
How to customize this recipe?
While this dish is delightful as it is, there are various ways to customize it to your preferences. Enhance the flavor with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary. You can also add a hint of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. For a twist, try different cheese varieties like Gruyère or Pecorino Romano. Experiment with various Keto-friendly crust components, such as sunflower seed flour, ground pork rinds, or Keto bread crumbs.
How do you make this side dish in advance?
Preparing ahead for Thanksgiving is a smart strategy, and you can certainly get a head start with this recipe. You can form the garlic parmesan crust mixture, chop the onion and garlic, and have everything ready in advance. Season the filet mignon, refrigerate them, and take them out when you're ready to sear and bake. This way, you can streamline your Thanksgiving meal preparation while ensuring a delightful Keto-friendly experience.

After being unable to find almond meal I substituted ground pork rinds and knocked it out of the park. We cooked the steak whole and then portioned it out. The cook times are spit on. This was a rich and delicious way to end the weekend. I can’t wait for tomorrow!
