Grilled Beef Brisket (Keto Friendly)
Yes, keto as served. About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Kenyan dishes.
What it is
Tender, slow-grilled beef brisket seasoned simply with salt and pepper, cooked over an open flame or grill. Focus is on the rich, fatty meat served without traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Beef brisket, salt, black pepper, cooking oil (minimal for grilling), fresh garlic and ginger paste (optional, light rub).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no marinades with sugar or carb-rich spices. Served plain or with a side of kachumbari (diced tomatoes, onions, chili, cilantro) but without traditional ugali, rice, or roast potatoes.
Watch out for
Marinades containing sugar, sauces, large portions of kachumbari (due to tomatoes/onions), cross-contamination with carb sides.
