Gestoofde Runderwangetjes met Rode Wijnsaus en Keto Groenten (Keto-Aangepast)
Braised Beef Cheeks with Red Wine Sauce and Keto Vegetables (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: reduce red wine heavily to evaporate alcohol and concentrate flavor without excessive carbs. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Belgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent beef cheeks slow-braised in a rich, deeply flavored red wine sauce with aromatic vegetables (onions, celery) and herbs, served fork-tender with keto-friendly mashed celeriac or steamed green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Beef cheeks, red wine (heavily reduced), beef broth, onions, minimal carrots, celery, garlic, minimal tomato paste, herbs (thyme, bay leaf), olive oil, celeriac (for mash) or green beans/asparagus.
How to make it keto
Reduce red wine heavily to evaporate alcohol and concentrate flavor without excessive carbs. Omit flour for thickening. Use minimal carrots and tomato paste. Serve with celeriac mash or green vegetables instead of potatoes.
Watch out for
Flour in sauce, unreduced wine, high-carb vegetables like carrots/onions if not moderated, hidden sugars in broth or tomato paste.
