Beef Strips Sautéed with Onions
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender strips of beef (often sirloin or alcatra) quickly sautéed with thinly sliced onions until caramelized. A classic Brazilian bar snack (petisco) or simple meal, typically served on its own or with low-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., alcatra, sirloin), onions, olive oil/vegetable oil, salt, black pepper. Some variations might add a splash of soy sauce (ensure keto-friendly) or a touch of vinegar.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no sugar is added to caramelize onions (though a natural caramelization is fine). Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken any juices.
Watch out for
Some restaurants might add a pinch of sugar to speed up onion caramelization. Ensure no starchy side dishes are automatically included. Soy sauce (if used) can contain sugar/wheat.
