Costela Bovina Assada com Farofa de Castanhas Keto
Roasted Beef Ribs with Keto Nut Farofa
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugary rubs or sauces are used on the ribs. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Slow-roasted beef ribs, seasoned simply and cooked until the meat is falling off the bone. Accompanied by a 'farofa' made from toasted crushed nuts (like Brazil nuts or cashews) with bacon, offering a satisfying crunch and richness without the traditional cassava flour.
Key ingredients
Beef short ribs (costela), salt, pepper, olive oil. For farofa: mixed nuts (e.g., Brazil nuts, cashews, almonds), bacon, butter, garlic, parsley.
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugary rubs or sauces are used on the ribs. The farofa must be made purely with nuts and not contain any cassava flour (farinha de mandioca) or other high-carb flours.
Watch out for
Sugar in dry rubs or glazes for ribs. Traditional farofa uses cassava flour, so explicit confirmation of a nut-based farofa is crucial. Cashews have higher carbs than other nuts; limit portion if concerned.
