Zwiebelrostbraten mit Röstzwiebeln und Grüner Salat
Roast Beef with Fried Onions and Green Salad (no Spätzle)
Yes, with a tweak: request no Spätzle, noodles, or bread. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A Southern German specialty featuring pan-fried or roasted beef (often a sirloin or ribeye cut) topped with copious amounts of crispy fried onions. Served with a simple green salad instead of traditional Spätzle (noodles).
Key ingredients
Beef (sirloin/ribeye), onions, beef broth, red wine (optional), butter/oil, salt, pepper, mixed green salad, olive oil, vinegar.
How to make it keto
Request no Spätzle, noodles, or bread. Ensure the sauce (if any beyond pan drippings) is not thickened with flour/cornstarch. Ask for a simple green salad with oil and vinegar.
Watch out for
Fried onions (sometimes dredged in flour, can absorb a lot of oil). Sauce (thickeners, hidden sugars). Salad dressings.
