Bœuf Bourguignon (Keto-Modifié)
Beef Stew in Red Wine Sauce with Cauliflower Mash
Yes, with a tweak: crucial to confirm no flour (roux) is used to thicken the sauce. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and robust beef stew, slow-braised in a deep red wine sauce, traditionally with bacon (lardons), mushrooms, and a hint of garlic and herbs. This keto-modified version ensures no flour thickeners and is served with a creamy cauliflower mash instead of potatoes.
Key ingredients
Beef stew meat, bacon (lardons), red wine (Burgundy), beef broth, mushrooms, garlic, herbs (thyme, bay leaf), olive oil, butter, cauliflower, heavy cream, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucial to confirm no flour (roux) is used to thicken the sauce. Request minimal or no pearl onions and carrots (or a very small portion of carrots). Ask for a side of cauliflower mash instead of traditional potatoes or pasta. Confirm no added sugars in the sauce.
