Keto Bifes a la Criolla (Bistec con Salsa Criolla)
Keto Steak with Creole Sauce and Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, rice, or bread. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Uruguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Pan-fried beef steaks (commonly sirloin or rump) generously topped with a vibrant 'salsa criolla' – a rustic sauce prepared with sautéed onions, fresh tomatoes, and bell peppers, seasoned with paprika and oregano. Modified by omitting the traditional potato accompaniment.
Key ingredients
Beef steaks (e.g., bife ancho, cuadril), onions, red bell peppers, fresh tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, dry white wine or beef broth, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, rice, or bread. Ask for a simple green salad with oil and vinegar, or steamed low-carb vegetables as a side. Confirm no sugar is added to the sauce.
Watch out for
Higher carb content from larger portions of onions and tomatoes in the sauce, potential hidden sugars in commercial tomato products.
