Dušená hovězí líčka na víně (bez přílohy)
Braised Beef Cheeks in Red Wine (without side dish)
Yes, with a tweak: request the dish without any starchy side dish (potatoes, dumplings). About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Czech food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender, slow-braised beef cheeks cooked in a rich sauce typically made with red wine, root vegetables (celery, carrot, onion), beef broth, and herbs. The meat itself is keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Beef cheeks, red wine, beef broth, lard/oil, carrots, celery root, onion, garlic, herbs (thyme, bay leaf), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request the dish without any starchy side dish (potatoes, dumplings). Confirm no flour is used to thicken the sauce, or ask for a thinner, unthickened sauce. Minimize the inclusion of cooked root vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Czech)

Flour in sauce (common thickener), sugar from red wine reduction, high carb root vegetables (carrots, onion, celery root) which contribute carbs even if removed after cooking, potential hidden sugars in ready-made broths.
