Falso Conejo (Keto-Modified)
Pounded Beef Steak with Rich Aji Sauce (Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: request without rice and potatoes. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bolivian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional dish featuring thinly pounded beef steak cooked in a rich, savory sauce made from aji amarillo, onions, and garlic. The keto modification omits the traditional rice and potatoes, focusing on the succulent beef and flavorful sauce with appropriate low-carb side options.
Key ingredients
Beef steak, aji amarillo, onions, garlic, vegetable oil, beef broth, peas (small amount in sauce), spices (cumin, salt, pepper).
How to make it keto
Request without rice and potatoes. Ask for a side of sautéed non-starchy vegetables (like broccoli or green beans) or a simple green salad instead. Confirm no starchy thickeners or added sugar in the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Spanish)
El Falso Conejo, sin arroz ni papas, por favor. ¿Puedo pedir vegetales salteados (brócoli, judías) o una ensalada verde? ¿La salsa no lleva espesantes ni azúcar?
For the Falso Conejo, no rice or potatoes. I'd like sautéed non-starchy vegetables or a green salad instead. Please confirm no starchy thickeners or sugar in the sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in the sauce, starchy thickeners, small amounts of peas in the sauce, and contamination from traditional starchy sides if not carefully prepared.
