Chunky Grilled Spiced Beef
Yes, with a tweak: omit injera. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ethiopian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
This dish features substantial, rustic chunks of beef, seasoned simply with a dry rub of spices and then grilled or pan-fried to a flavorful crust. It's a more straightforward, less saucy meat preparation compared to 'tibs' or 'wat' dishes, focusing on the quality of the meat.
Key ingredients
Beef chunks, berbere (or similar spice mix), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, oil/kibe for cooking.
How to make it keto
Omit injera. Request no heavy sauces unless they are clarified as keto-friendly (e.g., pure awaze without sugar). Best served plain or with a side of sautéed greens.
Watch out for
Injera, potential hidden sugar in dry rub or accompanying sauces.
