This Low Carb Keto Instant Pot Italian Beef recipe is quick, easy and full of amazing flavor! Slow cooker option also available! Either cooking method will produce juicy, tender beef that the whole family will love! Just 4 grams net carbs!
The origins of Italian beef sandwiches date back to the 1920’s in the Chicago area where Italian immigrants layered thin slices of roast beef, with spices cooked in an au jus beef broth for serving as a dipping sauce.
It’s often topped with pepperoncini peppers and melted cheese and served on an Italian sub roll or your favorite sandwich roll.
Obviously if you’re on a keto diet, this type of sandwich roll would be too high in carbs to enjoy, but the tender meat inside has all the authentic Italian flavors and is certainly fine to enjoy on a low carb diet!
You can enjoy this more as a stew with lots of gravy with your favorite veggies or use less stock and have it as a filling in a low carb baguette.
