What it is
A simple yet delicious dish featuring a cut of beef loin (or similar steak) grilled on a hot griddle ('a la plancha') to perfection. Often seasoned simply with salt and pepper, allowing the natural flavor of the meat to shine. Modified to replace traditional carb-heavy sides with keto-friendly options.
Key ingredients
Beef loin/steak, olive oil, salt, pepper, grilled onions, avocado, or side salad.
How to make it keto
Request no rice, frijoles (beans), tortillas, or plantains. Ask for extra grilled onions, avocado slices, or a simple side salad with oil and vinegar instead.
Watch out for
Marinades with sugar (less common for simple 'a la plancha'). Carb-heavy side dishes that must be omitted.
