Bife à Portuguesa com Ovo e Couve-flor
Pan-Fried Portuguese Steak with Fried Egg and Cauliflower Mash
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no fries. About 9g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A tender pan-fried steak, often served with a fried egg and a rich garlic-wine sauce. Traditionally accompanied by a mountain of fries, this keto version substitutes with a creamy cauliflower mash.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (sirloin, minute steak), olive oil, garlic, white wine, bay leaf, fried egg, salt, pepper. Served with cauliflower mash (cauliflower, butter, cream, salt, pepper).
How to make it keto
Absolutely no fries. Request a substitution like cauliflower mash or steamed/grilled low-carb vegetables. Confirm the sauce is not thickened with flour and contains no added sugar.
Watch out for
The most significant risk is the traditional side of fries. Sauces could contain flour thickeners or hidden sugars, though less common for Bife à Portuguesa.
