Steak au Poivre (Pepper Steak with Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: request omission of frites or any potato/starchy sides. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A classic French dish featuring a pan-seared steak (often ribeye or tenderloin) coated in crushed black peppercorns, served with a rich, creamy pan sauce made with brandy, heavy cream, and butter. Modified to omit traditional potato frites and served with non-starchy vegetables.
Key ingredients
Ribeye steak, black peppercorns, heavy cream, brandy, butter, shallots, beef broth, salt, side of green beans.
How to make it keto
Request omission of frites or any potato/starchy sides. Ask for non-starchy vegetables like green beans, asparagus, or spinach sautéed in butter/oil. Ensure sauce is not thickened with flour/starch; most authentic versions are naturally thick from reduction.
Watch out for
Brandy in the sauce (alcohol carbs, usually minimal after cooking), potential sugar in pre-made sauces (rare for authentic Steak au Poivre), high-carb side dishes (fries, potatoes) if not explicitly omitted.
