What it is
Pan-fried beef liver, prepared simply with salt and pepper, served alongside strips of roasted poblano peppers, onions, and a light tomato base. This dish focuses on organ meat, which is nutrient-dense and naturally low-carb. The key is ensuring the liver is not breaded and the 'rajas' mixture is free of high-carb vegetables or added sugars.

How to make it keto
Request the liver to be pan-fried without any breading. Confirm that the poblano strips are prepared with only onions, garlic, and tomato (no corn, potatoes, or sweet sauces). Omit any side of rice, beans, or tortillas.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato sauce or incorrect additions to the poblano rajas (e.g., corn, potatoes). Ensure no breading on the liver.
