Beef steak (thin cuts), onions, bell peppers (optional), garlic, oil, vinegar, lime juice, spices (oregano, cumin), small amount of tomato paste/sauce.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, no beans, no plantains, and no fries. Ask for a simple green salad or avocado instead. Confirm the sauce has no added sugar or flour thickeners.
Watch out for
Small amounts of tomato paste can add minimal carbs; some restaurants might thicken sauce with flour or add sugar. The biggest carb risk is the traditional carb-heavy side dishes.
