Key ingredients
Beef, onions, paprika, beef broth, tomato paste (small amount), bay leaf, caraway, olive oil/butter.
How to make it keto
Request 'ohne Spätzle oder Kartoffeln' (without Spätzle or potatoes). Inquire if the sauce is flour-thickened ('Ist die Soße mit Mehl angedickt?') and politely ask for a non-thickened version or just the meat and sauce base.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Das Rindergulasch bitte ohne Nudeln, Kartoffeln oder Knödel. Ist die Soße ohne Mehl/Stärke und Zucker? Stattdessen einen Beilagensalat oder grünes Gemüse.
Rindergulasch, absolutely no Nudeln, Kartoffeln, or Knödel. Is the sauce flour/starch-free and without added sugar? A side salad or green vegetables instead.
Watch out for
Flour-thickened sauce, hidden sugars in tomato paste or other sauce ingredients, significant onion content if not accounted for.
