Hovädzie na červenom víne (bez prílohy)
Beef in Red Wine Sauce (No Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: request no carb-heavy sides like potatoes, dumplings, or rice. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender beef slow-cooked in a rich, savory red wine sauce, often infused with herbs and minimal root vegetables. This keto version focuses on the meat and sauce, omitting all starchy side dishes like potatoes or dumplings.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck, shank), red wine, beef broth, onions, minimal carrots and celery, garlic, herbs (thyme, bay leaf), olive oil/lard, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no carb-heavy sides like potatoes, dumplings, or rice. Confirm the sauce is not thickened with flour or starch, or ask for a naturally reduced sauce. Be aware of minimal carbs from root vegetables like carrots/celery in larger quantities.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Hovädzie na červenom víne, prosím bez zemiakov, knedle a ryže. Potvrďte, že omáčka nie je zahustená múkou/škrobom, prípadne poprosím prirodzene redukovanú.
Hovädzie na červenom víne, please no potatoes, knedľa, or rice. Confirm sauce is not flour/starch thickened; if so, can I have a naturally reduced sauce?
Watch out for
