Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup banana peppers, sliced
- 8 almond flour bread, slices
- 2 tablespoons ghee
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. Brown the roast on all sides in the skillet, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the roast and place it in a slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add sautéed onion and garlic to the slow cooker with the beef.
Pour beef broth and coconut aminos over the beef in the slow cooker.
Add oregano, basil, thyme, and banana peppers. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it well with the juices.
To assemble the sandwich, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add ghee.
Lightly toast the almond flour bread slices on the frying pan until golden brown.
Place a generous amount of shredded beef on half of the toasted almond flour bread slices, then top with the remaining slices to make sandwiches.
Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo Italian Beef Sandwich!
