Pan-Seared Steak and Onions with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: strictly request no rice, no potatoes, and no yuca. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A simple yet satisfying dish featuring a pan-seared steak (often sirloin or top round) topped with a generous portion of tender sautéed red onions, garlic, and a touch of ají amarillo. Customarily served with rice and fried potatoes, these must be excluded for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (sirloin, top round), red onion, garlic, ají amarillo paste, vinegar, cumin, cilantro, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Strictly request no rice, no potatoes, and no yuca. Ask for a side of sautéed low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, bell peppers) or a simple mixed green salad with an oil and vinegar dressing.
Watch out for
The primary carb risk comes from the traditional accompaniments (rice, potatoes, or yuca). Ensure no hidden sugars are used in the onion preparation.
