Boeuf Bourguignon (Keto Style)
Beef Bourguignon with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, carrots (if possible, though small amounts are common in the base), or noodles. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and hearty beef stew, slow-cooked in red wine with bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions until the beef is meltingly tender. Modified to replace traditional potatoes or wide egg noodles with braised green beans or cauliflower florets to soak up the savory sauce.
Key ingredients
Beef stew meat (e.g., chuck), bacon (lardons), red wine (Burgundy), beef broth, mushrooms, pearl onions, garlic, tomato paste (small amount), herbs (thyme, bay leaf), butter, olive oil, green beans or cauliflower.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, carrots (if possible, though small amounts are common in the base), or noodles. Ask for a side of steamed green beans, cauliflower, or broccoli instead of starches. Confirm minimal or no flour thickener for the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans pommes de terre, carottes ou pâtes, s'il vous plaît. Puis-je avoir des haricots verts, du chou-fleur ou du brocoli vapeur à la place? La sauce est-elle sans ou avec très peu de farine?
No potatoes, carrots, or noodles, please. Can I have steamed green beans, cauliflower, or broccoli instead? Confirm minimal or no flour in sauce.
Watch out for
