Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour le Steak au Poivre, pas de pommes de terre s'il vous plaît. Un légume vert simple cuit au beurre ou à l'huile d'olive. La sauce est-elle sans farine ?
For the Steak au Poivre, please omit all potatoes. I'd like a simple green vegetable cooked in butter or olive oil. Is the sauce made without flour?
Watch out for
Hidden flour or cornstarch thickeners in the sauce. High-carb side dishes (fries, potatoes) if not explicitly omitted.
