Rindergulasch (Low-Carb Sauce)
German Beef Goulash with Keto-Friendly Sauce and Green Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: omit noodles (Spätzle) or potatoes. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and deeply flavorful German beef stew, slow-cooked with onions and paprika. Keto modification involves ensuring the sauce is thickened without flour and serving it with non-starchy vegetables instead of noodles or potatoes.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck, shank), onions, paprika (sweet, hot), beef broth, tomato paste (small amount), red wine (optional), caraway seeds, bay leaf, cooking oil/lard, green beans or broccoli.
How to make it keto
Omit noodles (Spätzle) or potatoes. Inquire about sauce thickeners and request it to be made with minimal or no flour/starch (i.e., reduced or thickened naturally).
Watch out for
Flour/starch in the sauce for thickening, large amounts of onions (though integral, can add up), high-carb sides.
