Assado de Tiras
Short Ribs (BBQ Style)
Yes, keto as served. About 1g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Brazilian dishes.
What it is
Flavorful beef short ribs, cut across the bone into 'tiras' (strips), seasoned simply with coarse salt and slow-grilled or roasted until incredibly tender and juicy. A highly prized cut in churrascarias, known for its rich marbling and intense beef flavor.
Key ingredients
Beef short ribs, coarse salt, black pepper, olive oil (optional, for rubbing).
Optional tweaks
Confirm no sugary rubs, glazes, or marinades are used. Request simple salt and pepper seasoning. Avoid any carb-heavy accompaniments like farofa (toasted cassava flour) or rice.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Para o Assado de Tiras, por favor, sem arroz, farofa, batatas ou outros acompanhamentos com muito carboidrato. Prefiro salada verde ou legumes grelhados.
For the Assado de Tiras, please, no rice, farofa, potatoes, or other high-carb sides. I'd like a simple green salad or grilled low-carb vegetables.
Watch out for
Sugary BBQ sauces or marinades with hidden sugars, served with high-carb sides (e.g., farofa, rice, vinaigrette with sugar).
