Key ingredients
Beef chunks (e.g., stew meat), tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers, green beans, zucchini, beef broth, olive oil, spices (cumin, oregano, bay leaf), cilantro.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes and no carrots in the stew. Ask for extra green beans, bell peppers, or zucchini to bolster the vegetable content. Confirm no rice or tortillas are served on the side.
