Carne a la Plancha con Vegetales Keto
Grilled Steak with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice, fries, yuca, or plantains. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Venezuelan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A generous cut of grilled steak, typically a sirloin or tri-tip, seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic. It's served with a substantial side of sautéed or steamed low-carb vegetables (like broccoli, asparagus, or zucchini) instead of traditional starchy accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (e.g., Solomo de Cuerito/Sirloin, Punta Trasera/Tri-Tip), olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, bell peppers.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, fries, yuca, or plantains. Ask for extra low-carb vegetables (e.g., broccoli, asparagus, spinach, grilled bell peppers) sautéed in butter or olive oil. Confirm no sugary marinades on the steak.
