Bifes com Cogumelos
Steak with Mushroom Sauce and Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request no fries (sem batatas fritas) and no rice (sem arroz). About 9g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Pan-fried or grilled steak (often thinly sliced beef) topped with a rich mushroom sauce. Traditionally served with fries and rice, the keto adaptation requires omitting these sides and ensuring the sauce is free of flour-based thickeners, focusing on the steak, mushrooms, and a keto-friendly sauce.
Key ingredients
Beef steak, mushrooms, butter/olive oil, garlic, heavy cream (optional for sauce), white wine (optional), salt, pepper, side of sautéed greens or salad.
How to make it keto
Request no fries (sem batatas fritas) and no rice (sem arroz). Ask if the mushroom sauce contains flour (farinha) and request it be omitted or made with cream only. Ask for a side of sautéed greens or a simple green salad.
