What it is
A classic French preparation of a pan-seared or grilled steak (e.g., ribeye, sirloin), typically cooked in butter or oil to perfection. Traditionally served with high-carb fries, but easily substituted with low-carb green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (e.g., ribeye, sirloin), butter, olive oil, salt, black pepper, fresh green beans.
How to make it keto
Request no fries (pommes frites) or potatoes (pommes de terre). Ask for green beans (haricots verts), asparagus (asperges), or sautéed spinach (épinards) in butter instead. Confirm no flour is used in any accompanying sauce or pan drippings.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in pre-made sauces (e.g., bordelaise, béarnaise if not made from scratch), restaurant tendency to serve large portions of glazed carrots if not specified, potential cross-contamination with fryers.
