Steamed Beef Ribs with Watercress Salad
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Brazilian dishes.
What it is
Beef ribs slowly cooked 'no bafo' (steamed or slow-cooked in a sealed pot), resulting in incredibly tender, fall-off-the-bone meat infused with deep savory flavors. Served simply with a refreshing side salad of peppery watercress.
Key ingredients
Beef short ribs (costela), salt, pepper, bay leaf, garlic, minimal water or broth. Watercress (agrião), olive oil, lemon juice for salad.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary rubs or sauces are used during cooking. Request only a simple watercress salad or other low-carb green vegetable sides, strictly avoiding rice, farofa, or starchy vegetables.
Watch out for
Sugary rubs or BBQ sauces commonly used with ribs, starchy side dishes are standard fare, hidden sugars in any accompanying dressings for the salad.
