Hovädzie líčka na zelenine so smotanou (Keto Verzia)
Beef Cheeks with Braised Vegetables in Cream Sauce (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: the sauce must NOT be thickened with flour, cornstarch, or any other high-carb thickener. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Fork-tender beef cheeks slow-braised with aromatic vegetables in a rich, unthickened cream sauce. This comforting and deeply flavorful dish is a perfect example of traditional Slovak slow-cooking, adapted for a keto diet.
Key ingredients
Beef cheeks, heavy cream, beef broth (ensure low-carb), onion, celery, minimal carrot, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, salt, black pepper, butter or lard, mushrooms (optional).
How to make it keto
Crucially, the sauce must NOT be thickened with flour, cornstarch, or any other high-carb thickener. Limit carrots to a minimum for flavor, focusing on more keto-friendly vegetables.
Watch out for
Hidden starch in commercial beef broth, excessive use of higher-carb root vegetables (carrots, parsnips), flour or starch used to thicken the sauce.
