Rinderroulade (ohne Klöße)
German Beef Roulade (without Dumplings)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no dumplings (Klöße) or potatoes. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Thin slices of beef, rolled around a savory filling of bacon, onions, and pickles, then braised until tender in a rich gravy. Served without traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Beef (thinly sliced), bacon, pickled gherkins, onions, mustard, beef broth, red wine (optional), carrots/celery (minimal), salt, pepper, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no dumplings (Klöße) or potatoes. Ask for gravy on the side to check for flour thickeners, or opt for minimal gravy.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Zur Rinderroulade bitte keine Klöße oder Kartoffeln. Soße extra zum Prüfen oder nur sehr wenig Soße.
No Klöße or potatoes with the Rinderroulade, please. Gravy on the side to check for flour, or just a little gravy.
Watch out for
Flour-thickened gravy (very common), hidden sugars in the filling (e.g., certain mustards, or if carrots are used heavily), sugar in red cabbage if served as a side.
