Keto Stoofvlees (Carbonade Flamande Stijl) met Bloemkoolpuree
Keto Flemish Beef Stew (Carbonade Flamande Style) with Cauliflower Puree
Yes, with a tweak: request no frites, potatoes, or bread. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dutch food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chunks of beef slowly braised in a rich, savory gravy often made with dark beer and onions (reduced significantly for keto), served with a creamy cauliflower puree instead of traditional frites or potatoes. This specific style of beef stew is distinct from other listed stews.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck, brisket), onions, beef broth, dark beer (small amount, simmered off), bay leaf, thyme, mustard, butter, olive oil, cauliflower, cream, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no frites, potatoes, or bread. Inquire about sugar in the stew base or gravy; ask for a reduced-sugar version if possible. Ensure cauliflower puree contains no potato.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Bij de Keto Stoofvlees: geen friet, aardappelen of brood. Zit er suiker in de stoofsaus? Graag een versie met minder suiker. En de bloemkoolpuree zonder aardappel.
For the Keto Stoofvlees: no fries, potatoes, or bread. Is there sugar in the stew? Can I have a reduced-sugar version? Ensure cauliflower puree has no potato.
Watch out for
Traditional recipes often use sugar, flour (as a thickener), or high-carb gingerbread/ontbijtkoek. The beer itself contains carbs. Onions are used in large quantities.
