What it is
Tender beef braised slowly with a very generous amount of caramelized onions in a rich, savory broth, often with a hint of red wine. While the onions contribute some carbs, it's a flavorful and hearty keto option when served without potatoes.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck, round), large quantity of onions, beef broth, red wine (optional), bay leaves, thyme, lard/oil, salt, pepper.
If you order it anyway
Omit traditional potato sides (e.g., potatoes, Spätzle). The dish intrinsically contains a high amount of onions for flavor, which contribute to total carbs.
If you order it anyway, say this (German)
Zwiebelfleisch bitte ohne Kartoffeln oder Spätzle.
Zwiebelfleisch without potatoes or Spätzle, please.
Watch out for
High amount of onions contributing carbs. Sauce thickening with flour/starch is less common for this dish but possible.
