Guiso de Remolacha con Carne (Modificación Keto)
Beef Stew with Beetroot (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request a very small amount of beetroot to keep carb count low. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Costa Rican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A flavorful beef stew where tender chunks of beef are simmered with onions, garlic, bell peppers, and a small portion of beetroot to impart color and a subtle earthy sweetness. Keto modification focuses on limiting higher-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Beef (cubed), beetroot (limited portion, diced), onion, bell peppers, garlic, beef broth, olive oil, cilantro, salt, pepper, bay leaf.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request a very small amount of beetroot to keep carb count low. Ensure no starchy vegetables (potatoes, carrots) or thickeners are used. Focus on more leafy greens or other low-carb vegetables for bulk if desired.
Watch out for
Beetroot is higher in carbs (around 7g net carbs per 100g). Portions must be strictly controlled. Any other starchy root vegetables or thickeners would make it non-keto.
