Malaya Rellena (Keto)
Keto Stuffed Flank Steak
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no breadcrumbs, carrots, or potatoes in the stuffing. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Chilean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Flank steak (malaya) rolled and stuffed with a savory 'pino' (filling) of hard-boiled eggs, bell peppers, onion, and often bacon or ham, then slow-cooked until tender. Served without starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Flank steak, hard-boiled eggs, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion, bacon/ham, olive oil, beef broth, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no breadcrumbs, carrots, or potatoes in the stuffing. Request to be served with a green salad or sautéed keto vegetables instead of traditional accompaniments.
Watch out for
Natural carbs from onion and bell peppers. Hidden sugars in prepared broths or sauces. Small amounts of carrots might be used in the pino, so specify omission.
