Carne de Res Guisada
Dominican-Style Stewed Beef (with Avocado & Steamed Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes, carrots, corn, or other root vegetables are added to the stew. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chunks of beef stewed in a rich, flavorful sauce made with sofrito (onions, peppers, garlic, cilantro, tomato paste). This hearty stew is typically served with rice, but for keto, it's paired with avocado and steamed non-starchy vegetables like broccoli or green beans.
Key ingredients
Beef chuck, olive oil, sofrito (onions, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, garlic, cilantro), tomato paste/sauce, olives, capers, chicken or beef broth, oregano, salt, pepper. Served with avocado and steamed broccoli/green beans.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no potatoes, carrots, corn, or other root vegetables are added to the stew. Confirm no flour or cornstarch is used as a thickener. Explicitly omit rice, beans, or any other starchy sides. Request avocado and steamed non-starchy vegetables.
Watch out for
Tomato paste/sauce (often contains added sugar), hidden sugars in seasonings, thickening agents, accidental inclusion of root vegetables.
