Lamb tenderloin, red onions, red wine (dry), beef broth, garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the sauce is not thickened with flour or starch. Confirm no added sugar to caramelize onions. Request no high-carb accompaniments like pasta, rice, or potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Molim vas, potvrdite da sos nema brašna ili skroba, i da nema dodatih šećera za luk. Želim ovo bez testenine, pirinča ili krompira.
Please confirm the sauce has no flour or starch thickeners, and no added sugar for onions. I'd like this without pasta, rice, or potatoes.
Watch out for
Sauce thickening with flour/starch is common. Onions can be high in carbs when used in large quantities and caramelized. Some red wines contain residual sugars.
