Rindergulasch (Keto-Freundlich) mit Blumenkohl-Reis
Beef Goulash (Keto-Friendly) with Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the goulash. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty, slow-cooked beef stew, rich with onions, generous amounts of paprika, and caraway seeds. Traditional German Gulasch is often thickened with flour and served with starchy sides. The keto version requires a flour-free sauce and cauliflower rice.
Key ingredients
Beef chuck or stewing beef, onions, paprika powder (sweet, hot), caraway seeds, beef broth, tomato paste (small amount for color/depth), lard or oil, salt, black pepper. Keto side: Cauliflower rice.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the goulash. If it is, ask if a naturally reduced, thicker sauce is possible, or accept a thinner consistency. Omit noodles, dumplings (Knödel), or potatoes, and request cauliflower rice or a simple side salad.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Ist das Rindergulasch ohne Mehl oder Stärke gebunden? Dazu bitte Blumenkohlreis oder einen Beilagensalat, keine Nudeln oder Kartoffeln.
Is the Rindergulasch thickened without flour or starch? Please serve with cauliflower rice or a side salad, no noodles or potatoes.
Watch out for
Flour or starch thickeners in the goulash, traditional starchy sides (noodles, dumplings, potatoes), and potential hidden sugars in pre-made goulash sauces or excessive tomato paste.
