Thin slices of beef rolled around a savory filling of bacon, mustard, pickles, and onions, then slow-braised to tenderness. Served with a rich cream sauce and sweet-sour red cabbage. Ensure to avoid traditional carb sides.

Key ingredients

Beef slices, bacon, pickled gherkins, mustard, onion, beef broth, cream, butter/oil, red cabbage, apples (for red cabbage), vinegar, spices.

If you order it anyway

Explicitly request no potato dumplings (Knödel) or potatoes. Ask if the cream sauce can be made without flour thickeners (some are naturally reduced). Be aware that German red cabbage (Blaukraut/Rotkohl) is almost always prepared with apples and sugar, making it higher in carbs. Request a small portion or an alternative low-carb side like green beans if available.

Watch out for

Gravy/sauce often thickened with flour (gluten) and can contain added sugars. Red cabbage is commonly prepared with apples and significant added sugar. Traditional sides (potatoes, dumplings) are high carb.
