Beef steak (e.g., sirloin, round), egg, olive oil/butter, garlic, dry white wine (for sauce), bay leaf, green vegetables (broccoli, spinach).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no fries ('sem batatas fritas') and no rice ('sem arroz'). Ask for green vegetables ('com vegetais verdes') or a simple side salad. Confirm no flour thickeners in the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Bitoque, por favor, sem batatas fritas nem arroz. Queria vegetais verdes ou uma salada simples. O molho é engrossado com farinha?
Bitoque, please, no fries or rice. I'd like green vegetables or a plain side salad. Is the sauce thickened with flour?
Watch out for
Fries and rice are standard accompaniments. Sauce might contain a flour thickener or added sugar, so confirm it's primarily wine and pan drippings.
