Beef cubes (e.g., sirloin, tenderloin), bell peppers, onions, marinade (olive oil, garlic, spices, vinegar), grilled keto vegetables (e.g., zucchini, broccoli, asparagus).
If you order it anyway
Request no rice, beans, tortillas, or starchy side dishes. Confirm the marinade does not contain added sugar. Ask for extra low-carb vegetables.
