Zwiebelfleisch mit gedünstetem Gemüse
Onion Beef Stew with Steamed Vegetables (Keto-Friendly)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm the sauce is not thickened with flour/starch or has minimal thickening. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender cuts of beef slow-cooked in a rich, savory sauce with an abundance of caramelized onions. Served with steamed green vegetables instead of traditional carb-heavy accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Beef (stew cuts), large quantity of onions, beef broth, red wine, bay leaf, thyme, cooking oil/butter, salt, pepper, green beans/broccoli.
How to make it keto
Confirm the sauce is not thickened with flour/starch or has minimal thickening. Request green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans) instead of potatoes or noodles.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Ist die Soße stärkefrei oder nur minimal angedickt? Gerne grünes Gemüse statt Kartoffeln oder Nudeln.
Is the sauce starch-free or only minimally thickened? I'd like green vegetables instead of potatoes or noodles.
Watch out for
Sauce thickening agents (flour/starch), served with high-carb sides. Onions contribute moderate carbs, especially when cooked down.
