Kurt (Keto Modified)
Premium Thinly Sliced Raw Beef (No Carbs)
Yes, with a tweak: omit injera. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Ethiopian dishes.
What it is
Finely sliced or cubed lean, premium raw beef, typically served with mitmita (spicy chili powder) and awaze (spicy berbere paste). It emphasizes the quality of the meat, similar to a steak tartare, distinct from generic raw chunks.
Key ingredients
Premium lean beef (e.g., tenderloin), mitmita, awaze (chili paste), salt, sometimes niter kibbeh (on the side).
How to make it keto
Omit injera. Ensure the beef is served purely raw with only dry spices or minimal sauce. Confirm no sugar in the awaze paste.
