Kalbsgulasch (ohne Beilagen, ohne Mehlbindung)
Veal Goulash (without Sides, without Flour Thickening)
Yes, with a tweak: specify no flour or starch for thickening. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Austrian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A savory veal goulash, a milder and often richer version than beef goulash. Slow-cooked with tender veal, onions, paprika, and caraway, resulting in a deeply flavorful sauce that is naturally thickened through reduction rather than flour. Served without traditional starchy accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Veal, onions, paprika, caraway, garlic, beef broth, tomato paste (minimal), lard or oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Specify no flour or starch for thickening. Request no traditional sides (e.g., noodles, dumplings, potatoes). Ask for a side of plain sauerkraut or steamed green vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Das Kalbsgulasch bitte ohne Mehl oder Stärke gebunden. Keine Nudeln, Knödel oder Kartoffeln als Beilage. Gerne stattdessen ein einfacher Sauerkraut oder gedämpftes grünes Gemüse.
Please ensure the Kalbsgulasch is not thickened with flour or starch. No noodles, dumplings, or potatoes. I'd like plain sauerkraut or steamed green vegetables instead.
Watch out for
Flour-thickened sauce, added sugar in some recipes (less common for savory goulash but possible), starchy side dishes (e.g., Nockerl, Semmelknödel, Spätzle).
