What it is
A traditional Scottish dish featuring thin slices of tender beef, often pan-fried and then simmered in a rich, savory gravy. This keto version ensures the gravy is thickened naturally (e.g., reduction) or with a keto-friendly thickener, served alongside generous buttered greens instead of potatoes or oat-based accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Thin-sliced beef (e.g., top rump, silverside), beef stock, onion (minimal), mushrooms, butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh parsley. Served with green beans, kale, or spinach with butter.
How to make it keto
Confirm gravy is flour/cornstarch-free (request reduction or keto thickener like xanthan gum). Request no added sugar in the gravy. Serve with buttered greens (e.g., cabbage, kale, broccoli) instead of potatoes, rice, or traditional oatmeal.
Watch out for
Flour-thickened gravy, hidden sugars in gravy, high-carb traditional sides (potatoes, oat-based 'collops').
