Marinated Beef Sirloin with Cream Sauce and Keto Sides (No Root Vegetables or Flour)
Yes, with a tweak: this requires significant modification: request the sauce to be made *without* root vegetables (carrots, celery root, parsley root) and *no flour* as a thickener. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A modified classic: tender marinated beef sirloin in a rich, creamy sauce. Traditionally made with root vegetables and flour, this keto version eliminates those and focuses on the beef and cream.
Key ingredients
Beef sirloin (or another tender cut), heavy cream, beef broth, bay leaves, allspice, black pepper, lemon juice (small amount). *Crucially, no carrots, parsley root, celery root, or flour.*
How to make it keto
This requires significant modification: request the sauce to be made *without* root vegetables (carrots, celery root, parsley root) and *no flour* as a thickener. Ensure no added sugar. Ask for the sauce to be based purely on cream and broth. Request keto-friendly sides like simple steamed green vegetables or a green salad.
Watch out for
Flour or starch thickeners in the sauce. High-carb root vegetables (carrots, celery root, parsley root) are fundamental to the traditional sauce flavor profile and contribute significantly to carbs. Hidden sugar in the marinade or sauce. High-carb side dishes (dumplings).
