Et Sote (Pilavsız)
Beef Sauté with Vegetables (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice or bread on the side. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender cubes of beef (or chicken, Tavuk Sote) sautéed with onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes in a rich, savory sauce. This versatile and flavorful dish is easily made keto by simply omitting the traditional rice or bread sides.
Key ingredients
Beef cubes, olive oil, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, tomato, tomato paste, garlic, spices (oregano, red pepper flakes), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice or bread on the side. You can also ask for a reduced amount of tomatoes and onions if you are very carb-sensitive, or ask for extra green peppers.
Watch out for
Almost always served with rice (pilav) or bread. Tomato paste, fresh tomatoes, and onions are significant carb contributors within the dish itself. Potential for added sugar in the sauce in some establishments.
