What it is
A robust and flavorful dish combining salty, tender shredded dried beef (carne seca) with slices of squeaky, pan-grilled Queijo Coalho. Accompanied by slowly cooked onions, naturally sweetened (without added sugar) to mimic caramelization.
Key ingredients
Carne seca (desalted and cooked), Queijo Coalho, yellow onions, olive oil, butter, salt, black pepper, (optional: touch of keto sweetener for onions).
How to make it keto
Request no sugar in the onion caramelization (long, slow cooking is key). Ensure the carne seca is plain, without starchy additions or sauces. Ask for extra fat.
Watch out for
Onions in significant quantity. Traditional caramelization uses sugar. Some restaurant carne seca might be mixed with starchy vegetables or sauces. Queijo Coalho can vary slightly in carb content.
