Braised Beef in Cream Sauce with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request no dumplings (knedľa). About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender braised beef (often from the thigh or sirloin cut) served in a rich and savory cream sauce. This dish is a staple of Central European cuisine, here adapted with keto-friendly sides.
Key ingredients
Beef (thigh/sirloin), onions, carrots (minimal if allowed), celery root (minimal if allowed), bay leaves, peppercorns, lemon zest, heavy cream, beef broth, butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no dumplings (knedľa). Explicitly ask for the sauce to be made without flour thickeners and minimal or no added sugar. Request a side of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., steamed green beans, cauliflower) instead of traditional vegetable puree or potatoes.
Watch out for
Flour thickeners in the sauce, added sugar (very common for this type of cream sauce), pureed root vegetables (carrots, celery root), traditional dumplings.
