Bistec Encebollado
Sautéed Steak with Onions (with Avocado & Green Salad)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice, fries, plantains, or other starchy sides. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Thinly sliced steak (often sirloin or palomilla cut) pan-fried or sautéed with copious amounts of caramelized onions. For a keto version, this succulent steak is served with sliced avocado and a fresh green salad, strictly omitting traditional high-carb sides like rice or fries.
Key ingredients
Thin-cut beef steak, yellow onions, olive oil, garlic, oregano, bell peppers, cilantro, salt, pepper. Served with avocado and a green salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, fries, plantains, or other starchy sides. Confirm no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken any sauce. Ask for a simple oil-and-vinegar dressing for the salad, or just oil.
Watch out for
Excessive tomato paste or sauce (can contain sugar), hidden sugars in marinades, high-carb salad dressings.
