Dušené Hovězí Maso (s nízkosacharidovou zeleninou, bez zahuštění)
Braised Beef (Keto Modified with Low-Carb Vegetables, without Thickening)
Yes, with a tweak: crucially request no root vegetables (carrots, celery root, parsnips) in the braise and no flour/starch for thickening the sauce. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Czech food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender pieces of braised beef, cooked slowly until fall-apart soft. This keto version omits traditional root vegetables and starchy thickeners, focusing on the rich beef flavor with a side of green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck, brisket), beef broth, onions, garlic, bay leaf, black pepper, thyme, cooking oil, keto-friendly vegetables (e.g., spinach, green beans, cabbage)
How to make it keto
Crucially request no root vegetables (carrots, celery root, parsnips) in the braise and no flour/starch for thickening the sauce. Ask for a side of steamed or sautéed green vegetables (spinach, green beans, or cabbage) instead of dumplings or potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Czech)
Prosím bez kořenové zeleniny a mouky v omáčce. Můžu místo brambor či knedlíků dušenou zelenou zeleninu, třeba špenát nebo fazolky?
No root vegetables or flour in the sauce, please. Can I have steamed green vegetables like spinach or green beans instead of potatoes or dumplings?
Watch out for
Traditional recipes often use flour for thickening the sauce and include high-carb root vegetables. Hidden sugars in some braising liquids.
