Bife Relleno
Stuffed Steak (with Ham and Cheese)
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Argentinian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A cut of beef, typically a thinner steak or 'nalga', butterflied and stuffed with a savory mixture, often including ham, cheese (like mozzarella or provolone), and sometimes spinach or bell peppers. It's then rolled, secured, and pan-seared or baked until cooked through.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (e.g., nalga, peceto), ham, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, spinach, garlic, olive oil, butter, salt, black pepper, optionally a low-carb sauce.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no breadcrumbs are used in the stuffing or coating. Request any accompanying sauce to be cream-based or tomato-based without added sugar or thickeners like flour/cornstarch.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades or sauces, flour as a thickener in sauces, breadcrumbs in stuffing (if not specified keto).
