What it is
A thick cut of steak (often pork or beef) traditionally grilled. For a keto version, it's served without starchy sides, accompanied by sautéed greens or a simple salad.
Key ingredients
Pork or beef steak, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, sautéed greens (e.g., spinach, Swiss chard 'blitva' with garlic and olive oil).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes, rice, bread, or other starchy sides. Ask for a side of steamed or sautéed non-starchy vegetables (e.g., 'blitva' without potatoes, grilled zucchini, green salad with olive oil and vinegar). Ensure the steak is not prepared with sugary marinades.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades or sauces. Starchy sides like potatoes or fries are standard. Some grilled vegetables may be higher in carbs (e.g., bell peppers in large quantities).
