Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, and warm water.
Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape them into round patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry arepa patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden. Set aside.
Season the beef chuck roast with salt, cumin, and paprika.
Heat the remaining olive oil in an oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
Add the beef and sear on all sides until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add sliced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until onions are soft.
Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
Return the beef to the pot, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven.
Cook for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the beef from the pot and shred using two forks.
Mix the shredded beef back into the sauce and let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
Serve the beef between the crispy arepa halves and enjoy your Keto Arepa with Shredded Beef.
