How Many Net Carbs per Serving in our Keto Pepper Steak recipe
8 Net Carbs per hefty serving when splitting this recipe into 4 servings.
We used arrowroot powder for our thickener. While it has a tad higher carbs verse other thickeners like coconut flour or almond flour.
It’s what I had on hand and used. If you would like to try other lower-carb thickening agents feel free to do so.
What type of steak to use in our Pepper Steak recipe
- Sirloin – this is by far my favorite type of steak to use. It is a little more expensive vs our other option.
- Bottom Round Steak -Â this option is a cheaper alternative. It just tends to be a little bit tougher of a meat. However, when it is already sliced into bite sized pieces it is a cheaper alternative.
WHAT TYPE OF BELL PEPPERS used in our recipe and why
- Red, Yellow and Orange bell peppers are higher in carbs.
- Green Peppers are the way to go as they are lower in carbs compared to the above.
I wanted to make a mention regarding it as it’s just what I had on hand from a variety pepper pack.
As we explain in our Low Carb Baked Pork Chop Peppers recipe. Our family we are a little lose on this rule. Our thinking is vegetables are good for us regardless.
If you are trying to stay strict though feel free to swap the red pepper with another green pepper in the recipe.
