Braised Veal Cheeks with Trappist Beer, Mustard, and Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or sugar is used to thicken the sauce. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Belgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender veal cheeks slow-braised to perfection in a rich, deep sauce flavored with Trappist beer, a hint of robust mustard, and aromatic herbs. Served alongside a medley of non-starchy keto vegetables, replacing traditional carb sides.
Key ingredients
Veal cheeks, Trappist beer, Dijon mustard, beef broth, onion, celery, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, butter, olive oil, green beans, Brussels sprouts.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or sugar is used to thicken the sauce. Request all starchy vegetables (e.g., potatoes, carrots) be omitted and replaced with keto-friendly green vegetables like green beans or Brussels sprouts.
Watch out for
Carbs from the beer, potential sugar or flour as a thickener in the sauce, higher carb vegetables if not explicitly swapped for keto-friendly options.
