Best Low Carb Italian Beef Roll Ups Recipes

LOW CARB ITALIAN BEEF (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• First, turn the slow cooker on high and add the beef stock, pepperoncini peppers, onion, garlic, onion powder, bay leaf, and Italian seasonings. Stir these ingredients to combine them.
• Cut the beef into evenly sized 6-inch chunks and cut off any fat you see. Season the pieces with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
• Add olive oil to a large skillet and turn the heat to high. When the pan is hot, carefully add the meat to the pan and sear on all sides, rotating every 2-3 minutes.
• Remove the meat from the pan and add it to the slow cooker, along with any pan juices from searing the meat. Try to get all the meat into a single layer in the liquid, and cover with the lid.
• Turn the slow cooker down to low, and cook for 6 hours.
• Remove the lid and turn the slow cooker down to warm. Drain off the cooking liquid into a bowl (there should be around 3-4 cups). Remove any of the oily fat you can, strain the liquid, then add it to a saute pan. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Transfer the reduced cooking liquid to a serving bowl (or gravy bowl).
• Remove the Italian beef from the crock pot and pull or shred it using two forks. Place it on a large plate or platter, then transfer onions and pepperoncini onto the platter. Remove any stems from the pepperoncini, then top with some shredded provolone, mozzarella, or Italian blend cheese. If needed, heat the plate in the microwave to melt the cheese, and enjoy!
• Serve with the reduced cooking liquid as a dipping sauce, and pair with your favorite veggies like cauliflower rice, spaghetti squash, or zucchini noodles. (Or if you are not following a low carb diet, you can use your favorite sandwich roll to create sub sandwiches, sliders, hoagies, etc.)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, pecorino Romano, ½ cup (20 g) chopped basil, provolone, parsley, 5 minced cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, and the olive oil. Stir and set aside.

• Starting from the bottom, roll the meat into a log. Using butcher's twine, tie up the roll so it holds its shape while cooking. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the steak roll and, without moving it, cook until a dark brown crust forms on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the roll and repeat until all sides and the ends have been seared. Remove the roll from the pan and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Add the butter, carrot, onion, celery, remaining 3 cloves of garlic, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes.
• Add the white wine and stir to loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Cook until the wine reduces and the pan is slightly dry again.
• Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
• Return the beef roll to the pot. Cover and bake for 1 hour, flipping the roll halfway through (if the sauce is drying up too much, add more crushed tomatoes or water), until the beef is tender.
• Slice the braciole and arrange on a serving platter with the sauce. Serve the braciole with orecchiette or polenta. Garnish with grated pecorino Romano and fresh basil.
• Enjoy!
