Bistec Relleno (Keto - Relleno sin Pan)
Keto Stuffed Steak (with No Breadcrumbs in Stuffing)
Yes, with a tweak: emphasize *no breadcrumbs* in the stuffing. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Thinly pounded beef steak (often top round or sirloin) carefully rolled around a savory, keto-friendly filling. The stuffing typically includes slices of ham, a rich cheese (like Swiss or mozzarella), and optionally hard-boiled egg or olives. Crucially, the traditional breadcrumb component in the stuffing is omitted. The stuffed steak is then pan-fried or braised to perfection.
Key ingredients
Thinly sliced beef steak, slices of cooked ham, cheese (e.g., Swiss, mozzarella), hard-boiled egg (optional), green olives (optional), extra virgin olive oil, sofrito (onion, garlic, bell pepper), minimal sugar-free tomato sauce, beef broth, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Emphasize *no breadcrumbs* in the stuffing. Confirm no sugar is used in any accompanying sauce or broth. Request extra cheese or olive oil for increased fat content.
Watch out for
Onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes in any sauce contribute natural carbs. High risk of breadcrumbs being included in the stuffing if not explicitly requested otherwise. Potential for added sugars in tomato sauce or beef broth. Cured meats like ham can sometimes contain hidden sugars.
