Počasno Dušena Goveja Rebra (Brez Krompirja)
Slow-Braised Beef Ribs (without Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes, polenta, or other starchy thickeners in the sauce. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovenian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Hearty beef ribs slow-cooked until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, immersed in a rich, savory broth often infused with herbs and aromatic vegetables, such as a minimal amount of onion and celery.
Key ingredients
Beef short ribs, beef broth, olive oil or lard, onion, celery, minimal carrot, bay leaf, thyme, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes, polenta, or other starchy thickeners in the sauce. Ensure carrots are kept to a minimum (for flavor, not bulk) or omitted if possible. Ask for a side of low-carb vegetables instead of traditional starchy accompaniments.
Say this to the waiter (Slovenian)
Prosim, da v omaki ni krompirja, polente ali škrobnih zgoščevalcev. Minimalno korenčka, prosim. Lahko dobim prilogo iz nizko-ogljikohidratne zelenjave?
No potatoes, polenta, or starchy thickeners in sauce. Minimal carrots. Can I have low-carb vegetables as a side?
Watch out for
Flour/starch used as a thickener in the braising liquid, substantial amounts of root vegetables (carrots, parsnips) in the sauce, served with starchy sides.
