Asado Paraguayo
Paraguayan Grilled Meats
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Paraguayan dishes.
What it is
A quintessential Paraguayan experience featuring various cuts of beef (ribs, flank steak, sirloin) and sometimes chicken, slow-grilled over coals, seasoned simply with salt. A staple of social gatherings.
Key ingredients
Beef cuts (e.g., costilla, vacío, tapa cuadril), salt, sometimes a dash of cooking oil for the grill.
Optional tweaks
Explicitly request no side dishes like mandioca (cassava), sopa paraguaya, or rice. Confirm no sugary marinades (uncommon for traditional asado, but worth asking).
Say this to the waiter (Spanish)
El Asado Paraguayo, por favor: sin mandioca, sin sopa paraguaya y sin arroz. ¿Pueden confirmar que no lleva adobos dulces?
