How to make it keto
Confirm that the meat marinade is sugar-free or very low in sugar. Request a side of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., grilled bell peppers, cucumber salad with oil, pickled cabbage without sugar) instead of traditional bread or potatoes. Ensure any accompanying sauce is sugar-free.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, sugary sauces (e.g., ketchup-based), starchy sides (bread, potatoes). Onions contribute some carbs, especially if consumed in large quantities.
