Contrafilé Grelhado com Legumes Verdes
Grilled Sirloin Steak with Green Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugary marinades on the steak. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A popular cut of beef, the sirloin steak (contrafilé) is grilled to perfection and served with a generous portion of sautéed or steamed green vegetables, such as broccoli or green beans, seasoned with garlic and olive oil or butter. Traditionally served with rice and farofa, these are omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Sirloin steak, olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, broccoli, green beans (or other low-carb green vegetables), butter.
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugary marinades on the steak. Confirm vegetables are prepared without starchy additions (like potatoes or corn) and omit rice, farofa, and beans typically served alongside.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Na Alcatra Grelhada, sem arroz, farofa, batata frita ou molhos doces. Pode ser legumes de baixo carboidrato no vapor ou salteados, com azeite ou manteiga.
For the Alcatra Grelhada, no rice, farofa, fries, or sugary sauces. I'd like steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables with butter or olive oil.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, hidden starches in seasoning rubs, high-carb vegetables if not explicitly requested, cross-contamination with breading on shared grills.
