Härkistomaattipata (Keto-Modified)
Beef and Tomato Stew (Keto-Friendly)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the stew. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Finnish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A slow-cooked, rich beef stew featuring tender beef pieces simmered in a savory tomato-based broth. Modified for keto by ensuring no thickeners and serving with low-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Beef stew meat (e.g., chuck), canned crushed tomatoes (moderate amount), onion, garlic, beef broth, olive oil, bay leaf, thyme, salt, pepper, low-carb vegetables (e.g., celery, bell pepper).
How to make it keto
Confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the stew. Request with mashed cauliflower or green vegetables (like broccoli, green beans) instead of potatoes or rice. Inquire about added sugar in tomato products or seasoning.
