Gestoofde Runderwangen met Trappistenbier en Keto Knolselderpuree
Braised Beef Cheeks with Trappist Beer and Keto Celeriac Puree
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the beer reduction for the sauce does not include added sugar or flour thickeners. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Belgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Slow-braised beef cheeks, incredibly tender and rich, cooked in a deep, flavorful sauce made with a Belgian Trappist beer, vegetables, and beef broth. Served with a creamy celeriac puree as a keto-friendly alternative to mashed potatoes.
Key ingredients
Beef cheeks, Belgian Trappist beer (dark), beef broth, onion, celery, garlic, bacon (lardons), celeriac, butter, heavy cream, fresh thyme, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure the beer reduction for the sauce does not include added sugar or flour thickeners. The celeriac puree should be made with butter and cream, without potato or starch. Request no bread or other high-carb sides.
Watch out for
Residual sugars from the beer, especially darker varieties, if not fully reduced. Flour thickeners in the sauce. Potato in the puree. Sugary additions to braised vegetables.
