Guláš (hovädzí) s Dusenou Zeleninou
Beef Goulash with Steamed Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request without bread dumplings (knedľa), potatoes, or rice. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and savory beef goulash, traditionally slow-cooked with onions, paprika, and other spices, served without traditional carby sides. The keto modification focuses on a generous portion of meat and a flavorful, low-carb sauce, accompanied by steamed non-starchy vegetables.
Key ingredients
Beef (often shoulder or shank), onions, paprika, caraway seeds, garlic, tomato paste (minimal), bay leaves, marjoram, beef broth, lard/oil, salt, pepper, steamed broccoli/cauliflower/green beans.
How to make it keto
Request without bread dumplings (knedľa), potatoes, or rice. Ask to ensure no flour thickeners are used in the goulash sauce. Request a side of steamed non-starchy vegetables instead of traditional starchy accompaniments.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Poprosím Guláš bez knedle, zemiakov a ryže. Je omáčka zahustená bez múky? Môžem k tomu dusenú zeleninu namiesto prílohy?
Please serve the Guláš without knedľa, potatoes, or rice. Is the sauce thickened without flour? I'd like steamed non-starchy vegetables as a side.
Watch out for
Flour thickeners in the goulash sauce, added sugar in tomato paste or industrial seasoning mixes, high-carb vegetables like carrots or parsnips in the stew (ask to minimize/omit), incorrect side dish.
