Prego no Prato com Couve Salteada
Steak on a Plate with Sautéed Cabbage
Yes, with a tweak: order 'no prato' and specify no bread. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Portuguese dishes.
What it is
A thin, tender beef steak, typically pan-fried with garlic and a splash of white wine, served 'no prato' (on a plate) without its usual bread accompaniment. The keto version replaces the common side of french fries with a generous portion of sautéed cabbage or other green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Thin beef steak, olive oil, garlic, white wine, sea salt, black pepper, cabbage, or rapini.
How to make it keto
Crucially, order 'no prato' and specify no bread. Request no fries. Ask for a side of sautéed green vegetables like cabbage, rapini, or green beans.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
O Prego no Prato, por favor, sem pão e sem batata frita. Quero uma porção de couve ou outros legumes verdes salteados.
The Prego no Prato, please, no bread, no fries. I'd like a side of sautéed green vegetables like cabbage or green beans.
Watch out for
Bread (if ordered as 'Prego no Pão') and french fries are standard accompaniments. White wine in the cooking sauce contributes trace carbohydrates.
