What it is
A classic Swabian dish featuring a tender cut of beef (often sirloin or ribeye) pan-fried and generously topped with crispy, golden-brown onions. Traditionally served with Spätzle (egg noodles) and a rich gravy, these are omitted for a keto version, focusing on the quality beef and onions.
Key ingredients
Beef sirloin/ribeye, onions, butter/oil, salt, pepper, beef broth (for natural pan sauce).
How to make it keto
Request no Spätzle or other potato/noodle sides. Ask for gravy to be omitted or replaced with natural pan juices (without thickeners).
Watch out for
Spätzle, flour-thickened gravy, some restaurants might caramelize onions with sugar, hidden sugars in pre-made sauces.
