Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., short ribs, shank), beef broth, onion, garlic, celery, chayote, green beans, cabbage, cilantro, salt, pepper. Cooked with residual beef fat and often extra oil.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request omission of high-carb vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and corn. Ask for extra portions of keto-friendly vegetables like chayote, green beans, and cabbage. Ensure no masa or starchy thickeners are used in the broth.
Watch out for
The main risk is the inclusion of high-carb vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and corn. Some restaurants might add a pinch of sugar to balance the broth. Hidden thickeners are a minor risk but should be inquired about.
