Is Corned Beef Keto
Yes, corned beef is definitely a keto-friendly meal. Corned beef is made with lots of salt and spices, no added carbs or sugars. There are 5 grams net carbs in each serving of keto corned beef and cabbage.
Most of those carbs come from the cream cheese, heavy cream, and carrots.
Since it has Irish roots, lots of people choose to serve it on St. Patrick’s Day. This is a fun way to celebrate the holiday together as a family. After making it once, you might want to make it again, more often! Don’t just save it for St. Patrick’s Day.
For a little fun, make an Irish feast with keto corned beef hash and radishes and a low-carb Reuben sandwich for lunch.
Is Corned Beef Healthy
Corned beef and cabbage is really healthy for you! Beef is a fantastic source of protein. It’s a wonderful choice for preparing muscles after working out or if you need to increase your protein on keto.
Cabbage is really good for you too! It’s really low in carbs, high in dietary fiber (which is great for your gut health) and is a wonderful source of disease-fighting antioxidants.
This keto skillet recipe also has carrots and lots of dairy in it. The added healthy fats will keep you feeling full so you aren’t tempted to snack.
Keto Corned Beef and Cabbage
Normally, the spices that come in a pack of corned beef is so potent that you don’t need to add anything else to it. Since I turned this into a skillet meal, I used cream cheese, heavy cream, and chicken broth.
Those additional ingredients muted the pungency of the corned beef spices. That is why I added a spoonful of horseradish sauce.
If you like milder, creamier flavors, you can cut back on how much horseradish you add. It’s a very spicy sauce, so add more if you like things hotter!
Corned Beef Skillet
Whenever I make skillet dinners, I always use my cast iron skillet. I love that I can place it in the oven and let it stay warm.
In addition to the cast iron skillet, you’ll also need a food processor or an immersion blender. It’s the best way to mix together the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and horseradish sauce. You can mix them together by hand, but it takes a lot longer!
Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days.
What To Eat With Corned Beef
This is a complete meal in one skillet. You don’t need to add very many things to it. If you want, you can serve some keto biscuits on the side.
Garlic knots are another wonderful choice. For something fluffier to go with the herby beef and cabbage, make some mashed cauliflower.
For dessert, serve a really green keto mint chocolate chip ice cream.
