Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks, approximately 2 inches each, and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the beef chunks in batches and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, paprika, cumin, and oregano, mixing well to combine the flavors.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot, ensuring the pieces are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add the chopped zucchini to the pot and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes until the zucchini is tender.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Remove from heat and allow the dish to rest for a few minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve the Keto Carne de Panela as-is or with your favorite low-carb side dish.
