Rouladen mit gedünsteten grünen Bohnen
German Beef Roulade with Steamed Green Beans
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the gravy is not thickened with flour or starch. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.

Key ingredients
Beef round (e.g., top round), bacon, dill pickles, onions, mustard, beef broth, red wine (optional), green beans, butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
