Bœuf Bourguignon (Keto Modified)
Beef Stewed in Red Wine with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no flour or starch for thickening the sauce. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chunks of beef slowly braised in a rich red wine sauce with mushrooms and bacon. Modified to exclude traditional high-carb sides like potatoes or noodles, and to limit root vegetables. The focus is on the succulent beef and savory sauce, accompanied by keto-friendly green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Beef stew meat (chuck), red wine, bacon/lardons, mushrooms, beef broth, garlic, limited tomato paste, fresh herbs, butter, olive oil, green beans or broccoli.
How to make it keto
Request no flour or starch for thickening the sauce. Ask for green vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli, spinach) instead of potatoes or noodles. Confirm minimal or no carrots and pearl onions.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pas de farine ni de fécule pour la sauce, s'il vous plaît. Je préférerais des légumes verts (haricots verts, brocoli) à la place des pommes de terre ou des pâtes. Et pas de carottes ni de petits oignons, ou un minimum.
Please, no flour or starch in the sauce. I'd like green vegetables like green beans or broccoli instead of potatoes or noodles. Minimal or no carrots and pearl onions, please.
Watch out for
