Guláš (Hovädzí alebo Bravčový)
Slovak Beef/Pork Goulash (No Dumplings)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely request no traditional dumplings (knedľa). About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and flavorful meat stew, typically made with slow-cooked beef or pork, generous amounts of onions, paprika, and sometimes tomatoes. Traditionally served with bread dumplings (knedľa), which must be omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Beef or pork shoulder, onions, paprika (sweet, hot), lard/oil, tomato paste, garlic, caraway seeds, beef broth, (sometimes peppers, mushrooms).
How to make it keto
Absolutely request no traditional dumplings (knedľa). Ask for a side of steamed green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans, or leafy salad with oil/vinegar) instead. Confirm sauce is not excessively thickened with flour.
Watch out for
Traditional dumplings (high carb), flour/starch used to thicken sauce, sugar in tomato paste, high amounts of root vegetables (carrots) if used in sauce base.
