Mix all the rest of the ingredients in, set on high for 3 hours. If you are going to need to to cook longer just set it on low!

Chicken Fried Steak with hollandaise

This was so yummy!! I am now doing low carb, so came up with this recipe!
Recipe:
- tenderized beef cutlets
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/2 c coconut flour
- frozen green beans
- 1/2 onion
- 3 cloves garlic 
- 1 c olive oil
- jonnys seasoning salt
- 1 stick of butter

Hollandaise- 4 room temperature egg yolks. Put into blender mix a little, add 1 stick of melted butter and 2 tbsp lemon juice, mix until thick!

Chicken fried steak- coat steak in 2 remaining eggs, then add to coconut flour seasoned with jonnys seasoning. Put into hot pan with olive oil, fry until golden brown. As you are frying, you might have to add more oil for other steaks.

Green beans- chop 1/2 an onion, and 3 cloves of garlic. I use the same pan that i fried steaks in. Let simmer for a minute, add frozen green beans. 

Add green beans to your plate, put chicken fried steak on and top it all off with creamy hollandaise sauce! Yum!
