Rinderrouladen
Beef Rouladen with Creamy Mushroom Sauce and Steamed Green Beans (No Potato or Spaetzle)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the sauce is NOT thickened with flour or starch and contains no added sugar. About 12g 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, pickle, onion, and mustard, then slow-braised until fork-tender. Served with a rich, keto-friendly creamy mushroom sauce and green beans instead of traditional high-carb potato dumplings or spaetzle.
Key ingredients
Beef (topside/sirloin), bacon, gherkins/pickles, onion, mustard, beef broth, heavy cream, mushrooms, butter, salt, pepper. Green beans.
How to make it keto
Ensure the sauce is NOT thickened with flour or starch and contains no added sugar. Omit potato dumplings or spaetzle. Request a side of steamed green vegetables like green beans or broccoli.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Die Rinderrouladen bitte ohne Knödel oder Spätzle. Dazu gedünstetes grünes Gemüse. Ist die Soße ohne Mehl, Stärke und Zucker?
Rinderrouladen, please, without Knödel or Spaetzle. Can I have steamed green vegetables instead? Is the sauce free of flour, starch, and added sugar?
Watch out for
Flour/starch or hidden sugar in the sauce/gravy. Some restaurants might use a small amount of breadcrumb filler in the roulade, though less common for traditional recipes.
