Boeuf Bourguignon (without Potato/Noodle)
Beef Burgundy Stew with Mushrooms and Bacon
Yes, with a tweak: ask for the stew served without potatoes, egg noodles, or any other starchy accompaniments. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic French stew of beef braised in red wine, often with mushrooms, bacon, and small pearl onions. Traditionally served with potatoes or egg noodles, which can be omitted.
Key ingredients
Beef (chuck), bacon lardons, red Burgundy wine, beef broth, mushrooms, pearl onions, garlic, thyme, carrots (small amount), butter, olive oil.
How to make it keto
Ask for the stew served without potatoes, egg noodles, or any other starchy accompaniments. Inquire if the sauce is thickened with flour (roux) and ask if it can be prepared without or with minimal thickener, or simply skimmed for a thinner, naturally reduced sauce.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour le Boeuf Bourguignon, sans pommes de terre ni pâtes, s'il vous plaît. La sauce est-elle liée à la farine ? Peut-on l'avoir sans ou avec un minimum de liant ?
Please serve the Boeuf Bourguignon without potatoes or noodles. Is the sauce thickened with flour? Could it be prepared without or with minimal thickener?
Watch out for
Traditional carb sides (potatoes, noodles), flour thickeners in the sauce, carrots and pearl onions (in restaurant portions, these can add up), residual sugar from wine reduction.
