Machaca de Res Guisada (Sin Huevo)
Shredded Beef Stew (without Egg, Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes or carrots. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Mexican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender, dried shredded beef (machaca) simmered in a savory and slightly spicy sauce made with tomatillos, green chiles (like serrano or jalapeño), onions, and spices. Traditionally served with tortillas, but can be ordered as a main dish with keto-friendly sides.
Key ingredients
Shredded beef, tomatillos, green chiles, onions, spices
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or carrots. Confirm no sugar in the sauce. Ask to serve with avocado, sliced radishes, or a side of steamed vegetables (e.g., broccoli) instead of tortillas, rice, or beans.
Watch out for
Carrots or potatoes as fillers (common in restaurant stews), thickeners in the sauce, hidden sugars in spice blends.
