Zwiebelrostbraten mit gebratenem Broccoli
Swabian Onion Roast Beef with Sautéed Broccoli
Yes, with a tweak: omit Spätzle or potato sides. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A thick slice of roast beef (often sirloin or ribeye) topped with a generous amount of crispy fried onions and a rich pan gravy. Traditionally served with Spätzle or potatoes.
Key ingredients
Beef roast (sirloin/ribeye), onions (fried), beef broth, butter, oil. Broccoli for side.
How to make it keto
Omit Spätzle or potato sides. Gravy is often thickened with flour; ask for it without thickener or on the side to scrape off. Ensure fried onions are not breaded (unlikely for Zwiebelrostbraten, but good to check).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Zum Zwiebelrostbraten bitte keine Spätzle oder Kartoffelbeilagen. Ist die Soße ohne Bindemittel, oder kann ich sie extra bekommen? Sind die Röstzwiebeln unpaniert?
For the Zwiebelrostbraten, no Spätzle or potato sides. Can the gravy be made without thickener or served on the side? Are the fried onions unbreaded?
Watch out for
Flour/starch in gravy, traditional Spätzle/potato sides.
