What it is
Tender, slow-braised beef cheek, falling apart with rich flavour, served with a concentrated red wine jus that has been modified to be keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Beef cheek, dry red wine (minimal, cooked off), beef stock, minimal onion, celery, garlic, fresh herbs, generous butter, xanthan gum (if used for keto thickening). Served with creamed cabbage.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the jus is thickened without flour or cornstarch, using natural reduction or a keto-approved thickener. Served without traditional high-carb accompaniments like potato mash.
Watch out for
Residual carbs from red wine (though mostly cooked off); minimal root vegetables in the braising base. Traditional jus often contains flour/cornstarch.
