What it is
Tender beef chunks slowly braised in an aromatic broth infused with abundant fresh ginger, garlic, and subtle spices. This version focuses purely on the rich beef and ginger flavors, omitting common high-carb additions like carrots and potatoes found in traditional beef stews.
Key ingredients
Beef stew meat (brisket/chuck), fresh ginger, garlic, shallots, star anise, cinnamon, fish sauce, cooking oil, beef broth, green onion, cilantro.
How to make it keto
Crucially, specify 'không cà rốt, không khoai tây' (no carrots, no potatoes). Request 'không đường' (no sugar) in the braising liquid. Ensure minimal or no sweet spices if possible. Serve as a stew with broth, not with bread or rice.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in braising liquid, carrots/potatoes (if not strictly omitted), shallots/garlic (moderate in large quantities), traditional serving with bread/noodles (omitted).
