Hautatud veiseliha
Braised Beef with Keto-Friendly Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the braising liquid/sauce. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Estonian food, so watch the portion.

Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck, brisket), beef broth, onions, garlic, bay leaves, herbs (thyme), mushrooms, celery, a small amount of carrot (optional).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the braising liquid/sauce. Request to omit high-carb root vegetables like potatoes, parsnips, and large amounts of carrots. Ask for extra low-carb vegetables such as mushrooms, celery, or cabbage instead.
Say this to the waiter (Estonian)
