Український Гуляш (Кето-дружній)
Keto Ukrainian Beef Goulash (Flour-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and savory beef stew, slow-cooked with tender beef, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes in a robust paprika-spiced sauce. Prepared without flour thickeners and served without traditional carby sides.
Key ingredients
Beef chuck, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes (small amount), tomato paste (minimal), sweet paprika, garlic, beef broth, ample cooking oil/lard, sour cream (optional garnish).
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce. Request no potatoes, noodles, or bread as a side. Confirm that only low-carb vegetables are used.
Watch out for
Flour is often used as a thickener, which MUST be omitted. Traditional Ukrainian goulash is sometimes served with potatoes or buckwheat. Tomato paste, bell peppers, and onions contribute moderate carbs; portion control or smaller amounts may be necessary if very strict.
