What it is
A signature dish from eastern Bolivia, Keperi features slow-cooked, tender, often fatty beef brisket or chuck roast. The beef is typically marinated and then slowly braised or roasted until incredibly tender, falling apart. It's usually served with boiled yuca and fried plantains. For a keto option, these starchy sides must be omitted.
Key ingredients
Beef brisket or chuck roast, spices
