Carne Braseada con Vegetales (Keto)
Braised Beef with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, rice, or other starchy sides. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Paraguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Slow-braised beef, cooked until fork-tender in a savory sauce with aromatic vegetables. While similar to a stew, this dish typically involves larger cuts of meat and a thicker, richer sauce. For keto, it's prepared by ensuring the braising liquid is sugar-free and free of flour thickeners, with non-starchy vegetables like celery, bell peppers, mushrooms, and a touch of onion and garlic.
Key ingredients
Beef cut (e.g., chuck roast, brisket), beef broth or red wine, onion, garlic, bell peppers, celery, mushrooms, herbs (rosemary, thyme), olive oil, salt, pepper.
