What it is
A hearty beef stew featuring generous chunks of tender beef simmered in a savory tomato and vegetable-based broth, rich with bell peppers, and minimal carrots or peas. Cooked with ample oil and prepared without the traditional potatoes, rice, or tortillas.
Key ingredients
Beef stew meat, large quantities of tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, beef broth, cooking oil, salt, pepper, spices (e.g., cumin, bay leaf). Small amounts of carrots or peas might be present.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes. Ask to minimize higher-carb vegetables like carrots and peas if possible, or ensure very small quantities. Explicitly confirm no flour or masa is used to thicken the stew. Omit rice and tortillas.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a traditional and significant component. Carrots and peas are higher in carbs and are often included. The stew sauce might be thickened with flour or masa. Hidden sugars can be present in the tomato base.
