Carne Guisada (Keto-Friendly)
Keto-Friendly Stewed Beef (No Starchy Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'sin papas, zanahorias, yuca o auyama' (without potatoes, carrots, yuca, or squash). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.

Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck, round), bell peppers (green, red), onions, garlic, minimal tomatoes, cilantro, oregano, sour orange/lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, broth.
