Hovězí na smetaně s lesními houbami (bez knedlíků)
Beef in Cream with Forest Mushrooms (without dumplings)
Yes, with a tweak: request without dumplings. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Czech food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Pieces of slow-cooked beef (often shoulder or brisket) in a luxurious creamy sauce infused with wild mushrooms (e.g., porcini), typically seasoned with caraway and onion.
Key ingredients
Beef, heavy cream, forest mushrooms, beef broth, onion, garlic, caraway seeds, lard/butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request without dumplings. Ensure the sauce is thickened with cream reduction only, not flour. Minimize onion or ensure it's fully cooked down to reduce carb impact.
Say this to the waiter (Czech)
