How to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups Recipe
Step 1: Sauté the Veggies
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add your thinly sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking them low and slow until they become soft and golden. The caramelization really amps up the flavor.
Step 2: Cook the Steak
Push the veggies to the side and add your steak to the same skillet. Season it well with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for just a few minutes until browned and juicy—don’t overcook!
Step 3: Assemble the Roll Ups
Lay provolone cheese slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add a spoonful of the steak and veggie mixture to each slice. Roll them up like you’re wrapping a little gift.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Pop them into the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and the edges turn golden and slightly crispy.
Pro Tips for Making the Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups Recipe
- Slice Everything Thinly: The thinner your veggies and steak, the better they’ll roll.
- Rest the Steak: Let your steak rest after cooking so it stays juicy.
- Broil for a Crusty Top: Want more texture? Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
- Mix Up the Cheese: Mozzarella or pepper jack can add a whole new spin.
- Add Mushrooms: For extra umami, toss in sautéed mushrooms with the veggies.
- Double the Batch: These keto Philly cheesesteak roll ups freeze beautifully—perfect for meal prepping or when cravings strike midweek!
How to Serve Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups Recipe
These roll ups are super versatile. I love serving them with:
- A simple green salad with olive oil and lemon
- Roasted Brussels sprouts or cauliflower
- A bowl of cauliflower rice with a drizzle of steak juices on top
They’re also great on their own for a quick lunch or snack—especially when you need something filling but still light.
Make Ahead and Storage
Store with Ease
Once cooled, store your roll ups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezing Tips
Wrap each roll individually in foil or parchment paper and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
Reheating Tips
Pop in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes, or microwave in short bursts if you’re in a rush. Air fryers also work wonderfully for bringing back that crispy edge.
FAQs About Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups
Can I use ground beef instead of sliced steak?
You absolutely can! Just brown the ground beef and drain excess fat before using it as filling. It won’t roll as neatly, but it’s still delicious.
Do I need to use provolone?
Nope mozzarella, Swiss, gouda, or even cheddar can work well. Just make sure it melts easily and holds its shape for rolling.
Are these roll ups spicy?
Not at all! But you can spice them up by adding crushed red pepper, jalapeños, or using a spicy cheese.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes, there are dairy-free cheese alternatives that melt beautifully. Look for vegan provolone-style slices and follow the same steps.
