Keto Bierfleisch (ohne Mehl, ohne stärkehaltige Beilagen)
Keto Beer Beef Stew (flour-free, without starchy sides)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely critical: confirm the sauce is 'ohne Mehl' (without flour) or any other starch thickeners. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Austrian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty, rustic Austrian beef stew, slow-cooked in a rich sauce made with dark beer, plenty of onions, and traditional spices. Traditionally thickened with flour, this keto version omits the flour, resulting in a naturally thicker, flavorful broth.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck, goulash meat), dark beer (minimal amount to keep carbs low), large quantities of onions, garlic, beef broth, bacon or pork belly, spices (e.g., caraway seeds, marjoram, bay leaf), butter or lard.
How to make it keto
Absolutely critical: confirm the sauce is 'ohne Mehl' (without flour) or any other starch thickeners. Request 'ohne stärkehaltige Beilagen' (without starchy sides) like bread, potatoes, or dumplings. Ensure no added sugar in the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Beim Bierfleisch, bitte die Soße ohne Mehl oder andere Stärke und ohne Zucker. Keine stärkehaltigen Beilagen wie Brot, Kartoffeln oder Knödel.
For the Bierfleisch, please ensure the sauce is flour-free and sugar-free, without other starch thickeners. No starchy sides like bread, potatoes, or dumplings.
Watch out for
Flour or starch as a thickener in the sauce is very common. Some beers are higher in carbs; a minimal amount or choice of a lower-carb beer is ideal. Large amounts of onions contribute to total carbs. Hidden sugars in pre-made broth or spice mixes.
