Rinderroulade (Keto-modifiziert)
Beef Roulade with Keto Gravy and Braised Cabbage (No Dumplings)
Yes, with a tweak: request the gravy to be made without flour (fragen ob mehlfrei). About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Thin slices of beef are rolled around a savory filling of bacon, pickled gherkins, mustard, and onions, then braised until fork-tender in a rich, flavorful broth. For keto, the gravy needs to be free of flour thickeners, and traditional high-carb sides must be replaced.
Key ingredients
Beef top round, bacon, gherkins (pickles), Dijon mustard, onions, beef broth, red wine (optional), herbs, spices, braised cabbage (ensure low sugar).
How to make it keto
Request the gravy to be made without flour (fragen ob mehlfrei). Crucially, omit potato or bread dumplings (Knödel) or any potato sides. Ask for a side of green beans, green salad with oil and vinegar, or confirm the braised red cabbage (Rotkohl) is prepared without sugar or excessive apple.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Rinderroulade bitte mit mehlfreier Soße, ohne Knödel oder Kartoffelbeilagen. Dazu grüne Bohnen, grüner Salat (Essig-Öl) oder ungesüßten Rotkohl.
Rinderroulade with flour-free gravy, no Knödel or potato sides. Green beans, green salad (oil & vinegar), or unsweetened Rotkohl.
Watch out for
Gravy is very often thickened with flour. Traditional side dishes (dumplings, potatoes) are high carb. Braised red cabbage often contains significant sugar and apple, making it a carb risk.
