Slow Cooker
The slow cooker is a very handy appliance to have if you are on a keto diet and like to meal prep. As a mom and wife that has to feed three hungry boys, I’m always on the hunt for easy keto recipes that don’t require a lot of time. Many of my favorite recipes can be made in a crockpot.
The benefits of using a slow cooker is that you dump in all of your ingredients before you head to work. After an 8 hour shift, you come home to your house smelling amazing and dinner is ready to serve!
Recipes Using Keto Steak & Peppers
This is a keto recipe that you can use to make other recipes. That’s what makes it an ideal keto meal prep recipe. Use the shredded steak and peppers in your fajitas. Or you can add it on top of your taco salad or low carb tacos. Another favorite is to make a keto fajita pie with the leftover steak as a filling.
My favorite way is to top the steak and peppers mixture over cauliflower rice or shirataki rice. My favorite shirataki rice is by Zeroodle. It is very low in carbs and doesn’t have that weird smell or texture like other shirataki noodles have.
Another option is to pour the keto steak and peppers mixture over low carb noodles. You can use shirataki noodles or a low carb pasta like the ones by Great Low Carb Bread Company.

A dump and go recipe is one where all the ingredients are prepped ahead of time and stored (usually uncooked) in the freezer, in a freezer safe Ziploc bag or container. When you go to make the keto meal, dump all the ingredients from the freezer bag into the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Keto dump & go bag can be unthawed the night before in the refrigerator or dumped from frozen into the slow cooker.
Keto Steak and Peppers in the Slow Cooker: FAQS
Can I use a different cut of beef instead of chuck roast?
Absolutely! While chuck roast is great for slow cooking, you can also use shoulder roast or cross-rib roast. Just keep in mind that the cooking time may vary slightly depending on the cut you choose.
What can I substitute for liquid aminos?
If you don't have liquid aminos, you can use soy sauce or tamari as a substitute. Just be mindful that soy sauce is not keto-friendly if you're avoiding gluten, so tamari is a great alternative!
