What it is

Key ingredients
Beef flank steak, coarse salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
No specific modifications are typically needed for the meat itself, as it's naturally keto. Ensure no sugary marinades are used (uncommon for traditional vacío). Decline all starchy side dishes (e.g., potatoes, fries, bread).
