Український Гуляш без картоплі (Ukrainsky Hulyash bez kartopli)
Ukrainian Beef and Bell Pepper Stew (No Potato Goulash)
Yes, with a tweak: request NO POTATOES and no flour or starch thickeners in the stew. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A slow-cooked, hearty beef stew featuring tender chunks of beef simmered in a rich tomato and paprika sauce with bell peppers and onions. This keto version is specifically prepared without traditional potatoes or flour-based thickeners.
Key ingredients
Beef chunks (e.g., chuck roast), bell peppers, onion, tomato paste (limited), paprika, beef broth, bay leaf, sour cream (optional).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request NO POTATOES and no flour or starch thickeners in the stew. Confirm minimal sugar in the tomato paste. Ask for extra bell peppers and a side of sour cream.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a primary ingredient in traditional goulash. Flour/starch thickeners, excessive carrots, and hidden sugar in tomato paste or pre-made sauces are also risks.
