thanks! | If the meat is not cured/processed and has nothing added to it (e.g. spices), it has no carbs. An exception are organ meats and (some) shellfish; that's why organ meats, mussels and oysters are limited to 4 oz per day.
Did you check the USDA database? If there are carbs in something, that will tell you. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/
And always read the ingredients. If some ingredient has carbs, then the food has carbs.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
