Boeuf Bourguignon (Ragoût de Bœuf aux Accompagnements Céto)
Beef Bourguignon (Stewed Beef with Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: omit all starchy sides (potatoes, noodles, bread). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich, slow-cooked beef stew in a red wine sauce with mushrooms, bacon, and pearl onions. Served with steamed green beans or cauliflower mash instead of traditional potatoes or noodles.
Key ingredients
Beef chuck, red wine (Burgundy), bacon, mushrooms, pearl onions (small amount), garlic, beef broth, tomato paste (small amount), butter, herbs, green beans/cauliflower.
How to make it keto
Omit all starchy sides (potatoes, noodles, bread). Request a side of steamed green beans or a cauliflower mash (confirm no potato in mash). Be aware of small amounts of carrots/onions in the stew and potential flour as a thickener, which may contribute minor carbs.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour le Boeuf Bourguignon, sans pommes de terre, pâtes ni pain, s'il vous plaît. Je souhaiterais des haricots verts vapeur ou une purée de chou-fleur. Pas de pomme de terre dans la purée et pas de farine dans la sauce ?
For the Boeuf Bourguignon, no potatoes, noodles, or bread, please. I'd like green beans or cauliflower mash. Confirm no potato in the mash and no flour in the stew.
Watch out for
Carrots and pearl onions used in the stew; red wine (residual sugars); potential flour thickeners for the sauce; traditionally served with high-carb sides.
