What it is
Thinly sliced beef, typically marinated and then grilled to perfection, resulting in tender, flavorful meat with a slight char. The keto approach focuses solely on the protein, omitting traditional starchy accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Thinly sliced beef (often sirloin or flank), aji panca, garlic, vinegar, cumin, salt, pepper, vegetable oil for grilling.
How to make it keto
Request without potatoes or chuño. Ask for a side of grilled non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or a large green salad. Inquire about sugar in the marinade.
Say this to the waiter (Spanish)
El Laping, sin papas ni chuño. ¿Podría ser con vegetales a la parrilla (pimientos, calabacín) o una ensalada verde grande? ¿La marinada lleva azúcar?
For the Laping, no potatoes or chuño. Could I have grilled non-starchy vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini) or a large green salad? Is there sugar in the marinade?
Watch out for
Sugar in the marinade (though often minimal for this dish), and cross-contamination from starchy sides if not careful.
