Conventional Cooking Method

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.
