Swabian Onion Roast Beef with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: omit Spätzle (egg noodles) or potatoes. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A popular Swabian dish featuring a pan-fried or roasted beef steak (often sirloin or ribeye) cooked to perfection and topped with a generous amount of crispy fried onions and a natural beef jus. This keto version is served without traditional starchy accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Beef steak (e.g., sirloin, ribeye), large amounts of onions, beef broth, red wine (optional), butter, cooking oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Omit Spätzle (egg noodles) or potatoes. Crucially, ensure the fried onions are not breaded or heavily floured; if so, ask for plain sautéed onions or limit the portion of fried onions. Request a side of green vegetables or a simple salad.
Watch out for
Flour or breading on fried onions, flour-thickened gravy/jus, hidden sugars in any sauces.
