Rinderroulade (Sauce auf Keto-Basis)
Beef Roulade with Low-Carb Gravy and Green Beans (No Dumplings)

What it is

How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the gravy is made without flour/starch or served on the side. Request no potato dumplings (Knödel), mashed potatoes, or noodles. Ask for a side of green beans, broccoli, or asparagus instead. Confirm filling does not contain high-carb breadcrumbs.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte keine Knödel, Kartoffelpüree oder Nudeln. Stattdessen grüne Bohnen, Brokkoli oder Spargel. Ist die Füllung der Roulade ohne Semmelbrösel? Soße ohne Mehl/Stärke oder separat, bitte.
No potato dumplings, mashed potatoes, or noodles, please. Can I have green beans, broccoli, or asparagus instead? Is the Roulade filling free of breadcrumbs? Gravy without flour/starch, or on the side.
Watch out for
Gravy (flour thickeners, hidden sugar), traditional carb sides, filling (rarely, but sometimes breadcrumbs).
