Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups
This recipe uses thin slices of steak wrapped around the classic cheesesteak filling, creating a neat, portable package that’s full of flavor.
Yields: 4 servings (2-3 roll-ups per person)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
For the Filling:
· 1 tbsp Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
· 1 medium Green Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
· 1 small Onion, thinly sliced
· 8 oz Cremini or White Mushrooms, thinly sliced
· 1 lb Ribeye Steak, very thinly sliced * (see pro tip below)
· 2 cloves Garlic, minced
· 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (check for no added sugar)
· Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
For Assembly:
· 8-12 slices Provolone Cheese
· 8-12 large slices of your favorite deli meat for wrapping, such as:
· Deli-Style Roast Beef (most authentic flavor)
· Sliced Turkey or Chicken (lighter option)
· Toothpicks, for securing
Optional for Serving:
· Sugar-free ketchup or mayonnaise
· Pickled jalapeños
· A simple side salad
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they begin to soften and caramelize. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they have released their moisture and are browned. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced ribeye steak. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it’s no longer pink (about 3-4 minutes). Add the minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce, and cook for one more minute until fragrant. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Combine Filling: Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the steak. Stir everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes so it’s easier to handle.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups:
· Lay a slice of deli meat flat on a cutting board or plate.
· Place a slice of provolone cheese on top of the meat.
· Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable mixture onto one end of the cheese slice.
· Carefully roll it up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
· Secure the roll with a toothpick to prevent it from unrolling.
· Repeat with the remaining ingredients. - Bake: Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the deli meat is slightly crisped on the edges.
- Serve: Let them cool for a minute or two (they will be very hot inside!), then serve immediately.
Chef’s Notes & Pro Tips
· Pro Tip: How to Get Thinly Sliced Steak
· The Easiest Way: Ask your butcher to slice it for you! Request ribeye shaved for cheesesteaks.
· At Home: Place your steak in the freezer for 30-60 minutes until it’s very firm but not solid. This makes it much easier to slice paper-thin with a sharp knife.
· Customize It: Feel free to add other keto-friendly vegetables like sliced jalapeños or mushrooms. You can also swap the provolone for Cheez Whiz (check carbs) or white American cheese for a more authentic “wit” experience.
· Make it a Casserole: For an even easier version, skip the rolling. Layer the deli meat on the bottom of a baking dish, top with the steak/veg mixture, and cover with cheese slices. Bake until bubbly.
· Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results (to keep them from getting soggy).
