Carbonade de Boeuf (Keto Modifiée, Sans Bière ni Pain d'Épices)
Beef Stew (Keto Modified, No Beer or Gingerbread)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no beer or gingerbread is used. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A hearty Northern French/Belgian beef stew, traditionally braised in dark beer and thickened with gingerbread. The keto version substitutes the beer with beef broth and a touch of red wine, omits gingerbread, and avoids flour thickeners, resulting in a rich, savory, and tender beef dish.
Key ingredients
Beef chuck or similar stewing cuts, bacon lardons, onions, beef broth, red wine (optional, small amount), Dijon mustard, bay leaf, thyme, olive oil, salt, black pepper. Served with braised red cabbage (keto-friendly).
How to make it keto
Confirm no beer or gingerbread is used. Ensure the sauce is not thickened with flour. Request low-carb vegetables only, such as braised red cabbage or sautéed mushrooms.
Watch out for
Traditional beer and gingerbread are high carb. Residual sugar from red wine. Natural sugars in onions. Confirm no flour thickeners.
