Grilled Meat with Kajmak and Keto Sides

What it is
A dish featuring a generous portion of grilled or roasted meat (often beef or veal) topped with a rich, creamy dollop of Kajmak (clotted cream). The keto version omits traditional high-carb sides, focusing on the protein and healthy fats.
Key ingredients
Beef steak/veal cut, kajmak, salt, pepper, olive oil. (Optionally served with simple greens).
How to make it keto
Request no bread, potatoes, or rice. Ask for extra kajmak and a simple green salad with oil and vinegar as a side. Confirm the meat is not marinated in sugary sauces.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Meso sa kajmakom, molim bez hleba, krompira ili pirinča. Može li više kajmaka i zelena salata sa uljem i sirćetom? I bez slatkih marinada na mesu.

Watch out for
Standard sides like potatoes or bread are the main risk. Kajmak itself is very low carb. Ensure no hidden sugars in marinades or sauces.
