How to make it keto
Request without fruit-based sauces (e.g., cherry, fig) or any sugary reductions. Ask for a simple pan jus (sauce made from meat drippings) and keto-friendly sides like green beans, asparagus, or spinach.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans sauces fruitées ou sucrées, s'il vous plaît. Un jus de cuisson simple serait parfait. Pour les accompagnements, haricots verts, asperges ou épinards.
No fruit-based or sugary sauces, please. A simple pan jus is fine. For sides, green beans, asparagus, or spinach, please.
Watch out for
Fruit sauces, potato gratins, or other starchy sides. Confirm no flour thickeners in simple pan sauces.
