Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks, approximately 2 inches each, and season with salt and black pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the beef chunks in batches and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
In the same pot, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and sliced red bell pepper. SautΓ© for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, paprika, cumin, and oregano, mixing well to combine the flavors.
Return the seared beef to the pot, ensuring the pieces are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the beef cook for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Add the chopped zucchini to the pot and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes until the zucchini is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and allow the dish to rest for a few minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Keto Carne de Panela as-is or with your favorite low-carb side dish.
