Estrogonofe de Carne (Keto)
Keto Beef Stroganoff (no Rice/Potato Sticks)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice or potato sticks. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A creamy and savory Brazilian-style stroganoff, featuring tender strips of beef, sautéed mushrooms and onions, all enveloped in a rich sauce made with heavy cream, a touch of tomato paste, and Dijon mustard. This version is served without traditional high-carb accompaniments like rice or 'batata palha' (potato sticks) to make it keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Beef strips (e.g., filet mignon or sirloin), mushrooms, onion, garlic, heavy cream, tomato paste (small amount), Dijon mustard, butter, olive oil, salt, black pepper, fresh parsley for garnish.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice or potato sticks. Confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the sauce. Request minimal or no sugar in the sauce, if they typically add it to balance acidity.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
No Strogonoff, por favor, sem arroz e sem batata palha. E confirme que o molho é engrossado sem farinha ou amido.
For the Strogonoff, no rice and no batata palha, please. And confirm the sauce is thickened without flour or starch.
Watch out for
Tomato paste can contribute carbs; potential for flour/starch thickeners in restaurant sauces; hidden sugars to balance acidity in the sauce.
