How to make it keto
Strictly no rice, no beans, no fried plantains (tostones/maduros), no yuca, no potatoes. Request extra onions and a simple green salad or non-starchy steamed vegetables instead.
Watch out for
Marinades sometimes contain sugar (less common for traditional bistec). Large quantities of sautéed onions can contribute significantly to total carbs.
