What it is
Succulent beef tenderloin grilled or pan-seared, served with a rich and creamy green pepper sauce. The keto modification ensures the sauce is thickened with heavy cream, not flour, and is free of added sugars. Typically served with a side of sautéed green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Beef tenderloin, green peppercorns, heavy cream, beef broth (sugar-free), butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, optionally a touch of brandy or cognac (cooked off). Served with a side of steamed broccoli or green beans.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the sauce. Request no sugar in the sauce. Confirm side dish is a low-carb option like broccoli, asparagus, or green beans, cooked simply with butter or oil, and not high-carb potatoes, rice, or bread.
Say this to the waiter (Romanian)
Vă rog să vă asigurați că sosul de piper verde nu este îngroșat cu făină și nu conține zahăr. Doresc legume cu conținut scăzut de carbohidrați ca garnitură, nu cartofi sau orez.
Please ensure the green pepper sauce is not thickened with flour/cornstarch and has no sugar. I'd like low-carb vegetables, not potatoes or rice, as a side.
Watch out for
Hidden flour or cornstarch in the sauce for thickening, sugar in prepared broths or sauces, high-carb side dishes (e.g., potatoes, rice, polenta), onion in sauce (can add a few carbs).
