A rich and hearty Slovak beef goulash, slow-cooked with tender beef chunks, onions, and traditional paprika spices. Served without traditional potato dumplings or potatoes, instead accompanied by a generous portion of roasted or grilled low-carb vegetables.

Key ingredients

Beef (chuck or similar cut), onions, paprika (sweet and hot), caraway seeds, garlic, tomato paste (small amount), beef broth, cooking oil/fat (lard/butter), salt, pepper, assortment of low-carb vegetables (e.g., zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli, mushrooms).

If you order it anyway

Request without dumplings (knedľa) or potatoes (zemiaky). Confirm the sauce is not thickened with flour (zahustený múkou) or ask for minimal thickening. Request a side of non-starchy vegetables instead of traditional sides.

If you order it anyway, say this (Slovak)

Bez knedle a zemiakov, prosím. Je omáčka zahustená bez múky, alebo len minimálne? Môžem dostať nízkosacharidovú zeleninu ako prílohu?

No dumplings or potatoes, please. Is the sauce thickened without flour, or minimally? Can I have a side of non-starchy vegetables?

Watch out for

Flour or cornstarch thickeners in the sauce, hidden sugars in tomato paste or paprika paste, traditional potato/flour-based sides.
