Roulade de Boeuf
Beef Roulade with Bacon and Gherkin, Braised with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no breadcrumbs are used in the filling. About 9g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Thin slices of beef are rolled around a savory filling, typically including bacon, gherkins, and mustard, then slow-braised in a rich, flavorful sauce until fork-tender. This is often called 'bird' (vogel) in Flemish.
Key ingredients
Thin beef slices (e.g., topside), bacon, gherkins, Dijon mustard, onions, beef broth, red wine, olive oil, butter, bay leaf, thyme, green beans, broccoli, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no breadcrumbs are used in the filling. Request no flour for dredging the meat or thickening the sauce. Ask for the sauce to be reduced naturally or thickened with a keto-friendly agent. Serve with steamed or braised keto-friendly vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Graag geen paneelmeel in de vulling. Geen bloem voor het vlees of de saus; graag de saus op natuurlijke wijze inkoken. Ik wil er gestoomde of gestoofde keto-groenten bij.
Please ensure no breadcrumbs in the filling. No flour for the meat or sauce; please naturally reduce the sauce. I'd like steamed or braised keto vegetables.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs in the roulade filling, flour used to dredge the beef or thicken the braising sauce, excessive red wine, hidden sugars in the sauce, non-keto side dishes (potatoes, pasta).
