Beef Skewer with Side Salad

What it is
Grilled chunks of beef, typically sirloin or alcatra, served on a skewer. Seasoned simply with salt and pepper. To make it keto, request without traditional high-carb sides like farofa, rice, or bread, opting for a simple green salad instead.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., alcatra, sirloin), salt, black pepper, olive oil (for grilling). Side salad: lettuce, tomato, onion, olive oil, vinegar.
How to make it keto
Omit farofa, rice, and bread. Request a plain green salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing, ensuring no added sugar in the vinaigrette.
Watch out for
Marinades (though often just salt), vinaigrette dressings (potential hidden sugar), cross-contamination with carb-heavy sides on the plate.
