Zwiebelrostbraten mit grünen Bohnen (Ohne Spätzle)
Swabian Roast Beef with Crispy Onions and Green Beans (No Spätzle)
Yes, with a tweak: omit Spätzle. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A Swabian specialty featuring thin slices of tender roast beef, pan-fried and topped with a generous portion of crispy, fried onions. Served without the traditional Spätzle (egg noodles).
Key ingredients
Roast beef (often sirloin), onions, cooking oil, salt, pepper, green beans, butter.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit Spätzle. While the crispy onions contribute some carbs, it's typically a manageable amount. Ensure the onions are not heavily dredged in flour or sugar before frying. Ask for green vegetables like green beans or broccoli sautéed in butter.
Watch out for
Spätzle (egg noodles), gravy (often flour-thickened and sugared), excessive flour dredging on onions, high-carb side dishes.
