Bistec Encebollado con Ensalada
Grilled Steak with Caramelized Onions and Side Salad
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'sin arroz, sin habichuelas, sin plátanos' (no rice, no beans, no plantains). About 10.5g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.

Say this to the waiter (Spanish)
El Bistec Encebollado, por favor, sin arroz, sin habichuelas y sin plátanos. Que el aderezo de la ensalada sea de aceite y vinagre, sin azúcar.

Watch out for
Marinades might contain trace amounts of sugar or fruit juice, but typically negligible. The main carb risk is the standard serving with rice, beans, or plantains.
