Dereq Tibs (Keto Modified)
Dry-Fried Spiced Beef with Keto Greens
Yes, with a tweak: omit injera. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Strips of lean beef, often sun-dried or semi-dried (though fresh is common in restaurants), pan-fried until slightly crispy with onions, green chilies, and a light blend of traditional Eritrean spices. Traditionally served with injera, this keto version focuses on the spiced beef and is accompanied by low-carb greens.
Key ingredients
Beef strips, onions, green chilies, garlic, ginger, niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter) or olive oil, berbere (optional, light), salt, black pepper. Served with steamed collard greens or cabbage.
How to make it keto
Omit injera. Ensure no high-carb marinades or thickeners are used. Request extra keto-friendly vegetables instead of traditional carb sides.
Watch out for
Onions, trace amounts from berbere spice blend (if it contains sugar), potential restaurant use of small amounts of high-carb vegetables.
