Marhapofa Pörkölt Párolt Brokkolival
Beef Cheek Stew with Steamed Broccoli
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour is used to thicken the pörkölt sauce. About 14.5g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Hungarian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Slow-cooked beef cheek stew, exceptionally tender and rich, made with paprika, onion, and a hint of red wine. This keto-friendly version is served with steamed broccoli, replacing traditional noodles or dumplings.
Key ingredients
Beef cheek, onion, garlic, Hungarian paprika (sweet), minimal tomato paste, dry red wine (small amount, mostly cooks off), beef broth (sugar-free), bay leaf, caraway seeds, salt, black pepper, lard/cooking oil, steamed broccoli.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour is used to thicken the pörkölt sauce. Request steamed broccoli or other non-starchy vegetables instead of traditional galuska (dumplings) or potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Hungarian)
Kérem, a Marhapofa Pörkölt szósz liszt nélkül készüljön. Köretnek párolt brokkolit vagy más alacsony szénhidráttartalmú zöldséget kérek, galuska és burgonya helyett.
Please ensure the Marhapofa Pörkölt sauce is not thickened with flour. I'd like steamed broccoli or other non-starchy vegetables, no galuska or potatoes.
Watch out for
Flour used as a thickener in the stew, high onion content, hidden sugars in tomato paste or broth, minimal residual carbs from red wine.
