Beef Stew with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes or rice. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ecuadorian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty beef stew featuring tender chunks of beef braised in a rich, savory tomato-based sauce with onions, garlic, and bell peppers. The keto version specifically omits potatoes, a common ingredient in traditional estofado, and can be requested with additional keto-friendly vegetables to enhance its nutritional profile.
Key ingredients
Beef stew meat, tomatoes, red onion, garlic, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, cilantro, cumin, achiote, beef broth, olive oil, salt, pepper. Keto vegetables such as zucchini, green beans, or broccoli may be added upon request.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or rice. Ask for the stew to be made with extra non-starchy vegetables if possible. Ensure no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the sauce.
Watch out for
Potatoes (must be avoided); generous amounts of sofrito vegetables (onions, tomatoes) can add up; potential use of flour or cornstarch as thickeners.
