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.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

Step 9

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it well with the juices.

Step 10

To assemble the sandwich, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add ghee.

Step 11

Lightly toast the almond flour bread slices on the frying pan until golden brown.

Step 12

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.
