What it is
Pan-fried or roasted beef steak, typically a sirloin, smothered in a rich, creamy onion gravy. This keto version focuses on the meat and sauce while omitting high-carb accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Beef sirloin or roast beef, onions, heavy cream, beef broth, red wine (optional), butter/oil, spices.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit Spätzle, potato croquettes, or any other high-carb sides. Request a large side of steamed green vegetables (e.g., green beans, spinach) or a side salad (dressing on the side). Inquire if the creamy onion sauce is thickened with flour/starch or contains added sugar; request a flour-free and sugar-free version if possible.
Watch out for
Gravy is very commonly thickened with flour/starch. Onions in the sauce might be caramelized with sugar. Red wine in the sauce can contribute minor carbs. Always served with high-carb sides.
