Limburgs Zuurvlees (Keto-Stijl, zonder Ontbijtkoek)
Limburg Sour Beef Stew (Keto-Style, without Gingerbread)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm that no gingerbread (ontbijtkoek) or apple syrup is used for thickening or sweetening. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dutch food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional sour beef stew from the Limburg region, slow-cooked until tender in a rich broth with vinegar and often onions. Modified for keto by omitting the traditional gingerbread (ontbijtkoek) and apple syrup, and served with low-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck, round), vinegar (apple cider or wine), onions, bay leaf, cloves, peppercorns, broth, butter/fat for browning.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm that no gingerbread (ontbijtkoek) or apple syrup is used for thickening or sweetening. Request no sugary side dishes (e.g., apple compote) and replace traditional fries or potato-based sides with cauliflower mash or other keto vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Kunt u bevestigen dat er geen ontbijtkoek of appelstroop wordt gebruikt? Graag geen suikerrijke bijgerechten zoals appelcompote, en vervang friet/aardappelen door bloemkoolpuree of keto-groenten.
