These low-carb cheesesteaks are so easy to make you wouldn’t believe it. Everything, including the cheese, cooks together in this slow cooker recipe.
I’m on a low carb kick while I’m recipe testing for my latest cookbook. It’s going to be a slow cooker low carb one! I’m not sure yet if this recipe will make it in; maybe a modified version. Anyway, I’m excited to share it here now because the cookbook won’t be out for a while.
before
This is another easy recipe using ingredients you probably already have in your house. I made this with and without the steak seasoning and I honestly think it’s better with it. If you don’t have a store-bought steak seasoning on, hand see below for my homemade blend.
after
Since the beef is sliced thin, it won’t need to cook as long as most slow cooker red meat recipes call for. Just a couple of hours on high or a few on low and this is ready to serve. I added a tablespoon of ghee because I want this to lean towards keto. You can increase or decrease the ghee amount to whatever fits your dietary needs. Or omit it entirely and extra-virgin olive oil instead. I used 2 different colored bell peppers, red & green but that’s not necessary, you can use 2 green bell peppers.
6 or 8 slices? Depends on how cheesy you want your cheesesteaks.
No, you don’t have to add the cheese into the slow cooker. If you’re not going to serve the dish right away, then I recommend holding off. If you want to keep this paleo and whole30 then simply omit the cheese all together.

You can serve this on some bread! This doesn’t have to be low carb if you don’t want it to. Grab your preferred chilly cheesesteak bread. Or just eat it as-is, meat & cheese. Whatever is your fancy.
Homemade seasonings are always better than store-bought. Need a steak seasoning? Try my homemade blend:
I have this in the slow cooker right now and it smells great! However, I was checking out the nutrition info to add to my tracker and am confused by it. Where are the sugars coming from? And is it really over 11 grams of carbs per serving? Just doesn’t seem right to me. Can you help? Thanks.
Has anyone tried this recipe in the instant pot? I’d so, how many minutes did you cook it for?
9 minutes on high pressure. I’ll be updating the recipe soon with Instant Pot instructions.
Can I let this cook all day while at work like 9 hours?
Having not tried it, I think a long cook time like that would turn the meat to mush. I would recommend using a roast. Just add the whole roast in in there with the rest of the ingredietnts. When it’s done cooking, shred or slice the meat. It will look different but the taste will still be there.
Ok I would like to retract my previous post. After I let it sit for the day it turned out better than I expected. Pretty good

Did you brown the meat before going in crockpot?
I did not.
