What it is
Pan-seared beef steak, typically a thin cut, generously smothered in a rich and savory creamy mushroom sauce. For a keto adaptation, the traditional high-carb sides of rice and fries are omitted, and the dish is served with a side of buttery sautéed spinach or another suitable low-carb green vegetable.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (e.g., sirloin, round), mushrooms, heavy cream, butter, olive oil, garlic, white wine (optional, usually evaporates), salt, black pepper, fresh spinach.
How to make it keto
Request no rice, no fries. Ask for extra mushrooms and/or a side of sautéed greens (like spinach or kale). Confirm no flour, cornstarch, or other thickeners are used in the mushroom sauce.
Watch out for
Flour/starch used as a thickener in the mushroom sauce. White wine contributes minimal carbs. Onions or high quantities of garlic in the sauce.
