How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure it's not breaded (ask for 'bez paniranja'). Request keto-friendly sides such as grilled non-starchy vegetables (e.g., zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers) or a green salad instead of potatoes or rice.
Watch out for
Often served breaded ('Popeci' style), which must be avoided. Standard sides are potatoes (fried, mashed) or rice. Clarify it's a grilled or pan-fried steak without breading. Some industrial cheeses might have trace carbs.
