What it is
Thinly sliced, marinated beef steak (usually skirt or flank) grilled to perfection. The keto version focuses solely on the protein, served with fresh sliced avocado and a side of plain steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables (e.g., broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers). All traditional carb-heavy sides like rice, beans, and tortillas are omitted.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (skirt, flank), marinade (lime juice, garlic, cilantro, oil, spices), avocado, cooking oil, non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for 'no rice, no beans, no tortillas'. Request plain grilled steak with avocado and a side of steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables only. Inquire about sugar content in the marinade (some may contain a small amount).
Watch out for
Sugary marinades; cross-contamination with carb sides; default serving of rice, beans, and tortillas if not explicitly omitted.
