Hovädzie Sviečková na Smotane (Keto-Modified)
Keto Beef Sirloin with Cream Sauce and Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request no traditional dumplings (knedľa). About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender slow-cooked beef sirloin in a rich, velvety cream sauce. While traditionally incorporating root vegetables and served with dumplings, this keto version modifies the sauce to minimize high-carb vegetables and omits traditional sides, served instead with a keto-friendly vegetable.
Key ingredients
Beef sirloin, heavy cream, onions, garlic, bay leaves, allspice, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, *minimal* carrot/celery for flavor (strained out or very small amount), butter/oil.
How to make it keto
Crucial: Request no traditional dumplings (knedľa). Ask if the sauce can be made with minimal or no root vegetables (carrots, parsley root, celery root) or if they can be strained out, and no flour thickeners. Request a side of non-starchy vegetables like steamed broccoli or green beans.
Watch out for
High amounts of root vegetables (carrots, celery root, parsley root) in the sauce, flour used as a thickener, traditional potato/bread dumplings, sugar in some pre-made sauces.
