Slow-cooked beef, so tender it pulls into shred and melts in your mouth, is one of life’s true pleasures. This easy Instant Pot Italian Beef is an amazing low carb pressure cooker beef recipe. Although there are all sorts of ways to season and prepare beef like this, classic Italian Beef is a personal favorite. It offers a deep beefy flavor, laced with herbs and tangy pepperoncini peppers. You can enjoy Italian Beef on its own as a low carb option, or pile it high on sub rolls and cover it with provolone cheese.

Ingredients

1/2 tsp. Crushed red pepper
1 tbsp. Dried Italian seasoning
2 tbsp. Brown sugar (or palm sugar)
1 cup Beef broth
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Juices
20 Peppers (mild or hot)
6 cloves Garlic, peeled and minced
1 Large red onion, peeled and sliced
4 tbsp. Butter (pork fat for paleo)
3 1/2 pounds Boneless beef chuck

Method

01

Set the Instant Pot on Saute. Add the butter, onions, and garlic. Saute for 3-5 minutes to soften the onions.
02

Meanwhile, cut the beef chuck into 4 large chunks. Once the onions are soft, place the beef down in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add the peppers, pepper juice, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, sugar, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper.
03

Lock the lid into place. Then set the Instant Pot on the Meat setting or Pressure Cook High for 50 minutes.
04

Once the timer goes off, turn off the Instant Pot. Perform a Quick Release. Once the steam valve drops it's safe to open the lid.
05

Use tongs or forks to shred the beef into the juices. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed.
