INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
BEEF SIRLOIN:
- We utilize thinly sliced beef sirloin because it provides tender texture and plenty of protein. As a substitute, you can use ribeye, flank steak, or ground beef.
BUTTER:
- Butter provides richness and creates the garlic butter sauce. You can replace it with ghee.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil helps sear the beef and adds healthy fat. You can use avocado oil instead.
BROCCOLI:
- Broccoli adds texture and fiber while keeping the skillet low in carbohydrates. As a substitute, you can use cauliflower.
ZUCCHINI:
- Zucchini provides moisture and texture while remaining keto-friendly. You can replace it with asparagus or spinach.
MUSHROOMS:
- Mushrooms add a savory flavor and meaty texture. You can use extra zucchini if preferred.
BELL PEPPERS:
- Bell peppers add color and flavor. For fewer carbohydrates, you can replace them with spinach or extra broccoli.
ONION:
- Onion adds savory sweetness. Use a smaller quantity or replace it with green onion for a lower-carb option.
GARLIC, PARSLEY, AND SEASONINGS:
- These ingredients provide fresh, aromatic, and savory flavor. You can use oregano, basil, or rosemary according to your preference.
