Instructions

Conventional Cooking Method

Generously coat steak with salt and pepper. Grill steak to desired doneness or a little less.
While grilling steak, add Taco Soup Base with 1/4 c butter and warm water to a pot, whisking thoroughly until no longer lumpy. Keep on low heat.
Saute onions and peppers in 2 tbsp butter and add garlic.
Slice steak into “bite-sized” pieces.
Add cooked onions, peppers, garlic, and steak to soup base and let simmer for a few minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and top with any toppings you like.

InstantPot Method

Generously coat steak with salt and pepper. Using 2 tbsp butter, sear steak using SAUTE function. Remove steak and cut into “bite-sized” pieces.
Saute onions and peppers with the garlic for 2 min, adding more butter if necessary. Remove onions and peppers.
Add 1/4 c butter and melt. Once melted, add water and turn off saute function.
Whisk in Spicy Taco Soup Keto Chow until no longer lumpy.
Add steak, onions, peppers and garlic back to InstantPot. Season with more salt and pepper. Cook on low pressure for 10 min. Serve and top with any toppings you like.

Notes

TIPS: For a more liquid soup, do a second serving of Keto Chow Taco Soup mixed with water and butter. This recipe is very mild in the spiciness factor. If you want more spice, add a hotter pepper in the mix, chili powder, or some cumin. You can replace the water with beef broth.

In January 2015 he created the recipe for Keto Chow and released it without restriction for anyone to use, at the same time he began mixing the recipe up for people that wanted a finished product and has seen steady growth in the business every month since.
