What it is
A keto interpretation of the popular Bife à Parmegiana. A tender cut of beef is grilled or pan-seared (not breaded), then topped with a savory tomato sauce and a generous layer of melted mozzarella cheese, and finished under the broiler.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (e.g., contrafilé/sirloin), tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request the steak *not* be breaded or fried. It must be grilled or pan-seared plain. Inquire if the tomato sauce contains added sugar and ask for a low-sugar version if possible. Avoid starchy sides like rice or fries.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
O Bife Grelhado, por favor, só grelhado, sem ser empanado ou frito. O molho de tomate tem açúcar? Se sim, pode ser com menos açúcar? Sem arroz ou batatas.
Bife Grelhado plain, no breading or frying. Tomato sauce: does it have added sugar? Low-sugar version if possible. No rice or fries, please.
Watch out for
