What it is
A robust pan-fried gammon steak, a thick slice of cured pork, typically served with a perfectly fried egg. For keto, it is accompanied by a generous side of sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli instead of the customary chips or pineapple.
Key ingredients
Gammon steak, large egg, unsalted butter or cooking oil, low-carb vegetables (e.g., mushrooms, spinach, broccoli), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Request the gammon steak to be pan-fried without any sugary glazes or sauces. Crucially, omit chips, pineapple rings, or any high-carb chutneys or relishes. Ask for explicitly low-carb vegetable sides.
Watch out for
Gammon itself is generally low-carb, but common accompaniments like pineapple, chips, or sugary sauces (e.g., brown sauce) are high in sugar/carbs. Some restaurants might use sugary brines for curing.
