How to make it keto
Explicitly request no fries (batatas fritas) and no rice (arroz). Ask for a simple green salad or sautéed vegetables instead. Confirm sauce is not thickened with flour.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Por favor, sem batatas fritas e arroz. Poderia vir com uma salada ou legumes cozidos no vapor? A marinada do bife não tem açúcar?
Please omit the fries and rice. Can I have a side salad or steamed low-carb vegetables? Is the steak marinade sugar-free?
Watch out for
The pan sauce can sometimes be thickened with flour or have hidden sugars. White wine in the sauce and onions also contribute carbs.
