Rabo de Toro Estofado
Braised Oxtail Stew (without potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes or other starchy sides. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Spanish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich, hearty stew of tender oxtail braised slowly in red wine with aromatic vegetables like onion, carrot, and garlic until falling off the bone. Traditionally served with potatoes, which must be omitted for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Oxtail, red wine, beef broth, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, olive oil, a small amount of tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes or other starchy sides. Confirm no flour or sugar added as a thickener to the sauce. Carrots and onions contribute some carbs but are generally acceptable in a stew in restaurant portions.
Watch out for
Flour or sugar used as a thickener in the sauce. Hidden sugars in tomato paste or wine (though cooking reduces sugar, small amounts remain). Potatoes or bread served as a side.
