Boeuf Bourguignon avec Purée de Chou-fleur
Beef Burgundy Stew with Cauliflower Purée
Yes, with a tweak: request the stew be prepared without flour for thickening (check if possible, as it's often pre-made). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Beef chuck, red wine (Burgundy), beef broth, bacon (lardons), mushrooms, carrots (minimal), pearl onions (minimal), garlic, thyme, bay leaf, butter, cauliflower for purée.
How to make it keto
Request the stew be prepared without flour for thickening (check if possible, as it's often pre-made). Ask for no potatoes or pasta, and substitute with cauliflower purée, steamed green vegetables, or a simple side salad.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Le Boeuf Bourguignon, sans pommes de terre ni pâtes, s'il vous plaît. Est-il possible qu'il soit sans farine ? Avec une purée de chou-fleur, des légumes verts ou une salade verte.
Boeuf Bourguignon, please, no potatoes or pasta. Can you check if it's made without flour? I'd like it with cauliflower purée, green vegetables, or a side salad.
Watch out for
Flour thickening (most significant risk), small potatoes or carrots often included, pearl onions contribute carbs, red wine has some natural sugars. Hidden sugars in pre-made sauces.
