Key ingredients

Beef chuck or shoulder, onions, dark Belgian beer (reduced), beef broth, Dijon mustard, thyme, bay leaf, butter, olive oil, low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower florets).

If you order it anyway

Request the sauce to be thickened without flour or starch, or reduced significantly to minimize beer carb content. Confirm no sugar, fruit, or high-carb syrup is added. Replace traditional fries, bread, or stoemp with a side of sautéed green vegetables or cauliflower mash.

If you order it anyway, say this (Dutch)

De saus graag zonder bloem of zetmeel, of sterk gereduceerd. Geen suiker, fruit of koolhydraatrijke siroop? Vervang friet, brood of stoemp door groene groenten of bloemkoolpuree.

Please make the sauce without flour/starch or significantly reduced. Confirm no sugar, fruit, or high-carb syrup. Replace fries, bread, or stoemp with sautéed green vegetables or cauliflower mash.
