Yes, with a tweak: aBSOLUTELY omit any egg noodles (Spätzle), potatoes, rice, or bread. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich, slow-cooked beef stew, robustly seasoned with paprika and onions, typically with tender chunks of beef. Served with mushrooms and accompanied by a fresh green salad, omitting all traditional starchy sides like noodles or potatoes.
Key ingredients
Beef chuck, onions, paprika, beef broth, tomatoes (paste/crushed), mushrooms, cooking oil/lard, bay leaves, caraway seeds, side salad greens, olive oil, vinegar.
How to make it keto
ABSOLUTELY omit any egg noodles (Spätzle), potatoes, rice, or bread. Verify the Goulash sauce is not heavily thickened with flour or cornstarch (authentic German Goulash typically is not, but some restaurants may modify). Request a substantial green side salad with oil and vinegar dressing instead.
Watch out for
Flour/cornstarch thickeners in sauce, egg noodles, potatoes, rice, higher carb vegetables in mixed salads. Onions and tomatoes in goulash contribute carbs but are generally within keto limits for a stew portion.
