Braised Short Ribs with Celery Root Puree and Keto Gravy
Yes, with a tweak: request celery root puree instead of mashed potatoes or other high-carb sides. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Canadian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender, slow-braised beef short ribs, falling off the bone, served with a rich, savory gravy (thickened without flour or starch) and a creamy celery root (celeriac) puree instead of mashed potatoes. A classic comfort dish in Canadian bistros.
Key ingredients
Beef short ribs, beef broth, red wine (optional, small amount, alcohol cooks off), onion, garlic, minimal carrots and celery, herbs (bay leaf, thyme), celery root, butter, heavy cream, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request celery root puree instead of mashed potatoes or other high-carb sides. Ensure gravy is thickened naturally (reduced, no flour/cornstarch) or with a keto-friendly thickener. Confirm no added sugar in the braising liquid.
Watch out for
Traditional mashed potato or polenta sides. Flour or starch-thickened gravy. Sugary braising liquids. High-carb root vegetables often included in braises; request minimal or omit if possible.
