Beef stewing cuts (e.g., acém, paleta), olive oil, onion, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes (peeled, crushed), beef broth, black olives, green olives, hard-boiled eggs, bay leaf, parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, farofa, or potatoes. Ensure the tomato sauce has no added sugar and the stew is not thickened with flour or cornstarch. Request a side of non-starchy green vegetables if available.
Watch out for
Sugary tomato sauces, flour/cornstarch used as thickeners, starchy side dishes (rice, potatoes, manioc), significant amounts of onion/bell pepper can increase carb count.
