Lindströmin Pihvit (Keto-Modified)
Keto Beef Patties with Beets and Capers
Yes, with a tweak: ensure minimal or no breadcrumbs/flour are used as a binder in the patties. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Finnish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Flavorful beef patties mixed with a small amount of finely chopped beets, capers, and onion, then pan-fried. A traditional dish, adapted by minimizing carb-heavy binders and sides.
Key ingredients
Ground beef (and/or pork), onion, small amount of cooked beets, capers, egg, salt, black pepper, butter/oil for frying, green salad with sour cream dressing.
How to make it keto
Ensure minimal or no breadcrumbs/flour are used as a binder in the patties. The beet content should be kept small for keto. Strictly omit all traditional potato sides. Ask for a simple green salad with an oil and vinegar or full-fat sour cream dressing.
