Key ingredients
Beef stew meat, tomato paste, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, oregano, beef broth, olive oil. Salad: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olive oil, vinegar.
How to make it keto
Strictly no rice, beans, or root vegetables. Request a simple green salad as a side. Inquire about any added sugars or thickeners (e.g., cornstarch, flour) in the stew.
Watch out for
Similar to Pollo Guisado: tomato paste can be carb-heavy, potential hidden sugars or thickeners in broth/sauce. Some kitchens might thicken with cornstarch or flour, or include potato/carrot in the stew, which must be avoided.
