Tagliata De Manzo

 I eat a pretty low carb diet, not Keto anymore most days but close. Here in Italy everything is carbs: Pasta, Pizza, Calzone…well you get the idea. My saving grace has been Tagliata De Manzo (pronounced Tah-lee-ah-ta de man-so). It’s on every menu and basically it’s a sliced steak on arugula with some grana padano cheese (the poor cousin of Parmesan). It’s relatively cheap steak (like $25 to $35) and a decent beefy cut weighting in between a half to three quarters of a pound. Here in northern Italy/South Tirol they always serve it with potato’s…which is fine I can mostly ignore those as I’m not a huge potato fan. Probably four nights out of seven this is my dinner here.
