How to make it keto
Request no fries, rice, or 'farofa' (toasted cassava flour) which are common accompaniments. Ask for grilled or roasted non-starchy vegetables (e.g., asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms) as a side.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades (uncommon for traditional picanha, which is usually just salted), carb-heavy side dishes if not explicitly omitted. Natural sugars from some roasted vegetables.
