Carne Asada (Keto Plate)
Grilled Beef Steak with Avocado and Keto Salsa
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice, no beans, no tortillas, no plantains. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A generous restaurant portion of grilled beef steak, seasoned and cooked with ample oil, served with fresh avocado slices and a side of chirmol (tomato salsa) modified to be sugar-free. All traditional starchy sides (rice, beans, tortillas) are explicitly omitted to maintain keto compliance.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (skirt, flank, or sirloin), avocado, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, olive), salt, pepper, various spices for marinade.
How to make it keto
Request no rice, no beans, no tortillas, no plantains. Ask for extra avocado and a side of plain grilled low-carb vegetables (like bell peppers or chayote) if available. Crucially, ensure the chirmol (salsa) has no added sugar and that the beef marinade is sugar-free.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in beef marinade or chirmol. Large portions of tomatoes and onions in the salsa can contribute to carb count. Be wary of any glazes or sweet elements.
