Bife à Portuguesa com Ovo Estrelado e Legumes Salteados
Portuguese Steak with Fried Egg and Sautéed Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no fries. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A pan-fried or grilled steak (typically sirloin or rump) often topped with a fried egg and a rich, savory pan sauce, traditionally accompanied by fries. This keto version replaces the fries with sautéed low-carb vegetables like broccoli or spinach, keeping the focus on the flavorful steak and egg.
Key ingredients
Beef steak, olive oil, garlic, bay leaf, white wine (minimal, for sauce), fried egg, salt, black pepper, broccoli florets or spinach, butter.
How to make it keto
Request no fries. Ask for sautéed non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, spinach) instead. Confirm the sauce does not contain flour thickeners or significant added sugars; ask for it on the side if unsure. Ensure the egg is fried without any breading or starchy ingredients.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem batatas fritas. Em vez disso, legumes salteados não-amiláceos. Molho: farinha ou açúcar? Se não souberem, à parte. Ovo: sem panados ou amido?
No fries. Sautéed non-starchy vegetables instead. Sauce: flour or sugar? If unsure, on side. Egg: no breading or starch?
Watch out for
Fries, flour-thickened sauces, hidden sugars in sauces, excess wine in sauce (most alcohol and carbs evaporate during cooking).
