Of course! Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups are a brilliant, low-carb twist on the classic sandwich. They’re packed with all the iconic flavors—sautéed beef, peppers, onions, and gooey cheese—but wrapped in a tender slice of roast beef instead of bread.
They are perfect for a quick lunch, a satisfying snack, or a fun party appetizer.
Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups
This recipe is incredibly simple and comes together in under 30 minutes.
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 10-15 minutes | Total Time: 25-30 minutes
Yields: 8-12 roll-ups (depending on size)
Ingredients
For the Filling:
· 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
· ½ medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
· ½ medium onion, thinly sliced
· 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, thinly sliced
· ½ lb ribeye steak, very thinly sliced*, or lean ground beef
· 2 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (check for no sugar for strict keto)
· Salt and black pepper to taste
· 6 slices provolone cheese, cut in half (or 1 cup shredded provolone)
For the Wraps:
· 12-16 large, thin slices of deli roast beef (about ¾ lb)
Optional for Serving:
· Sugar-free ketchup or mayonnaise for dipping
· Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
*How to Thinly Slice Steak: For easier slicing, place the steak in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until it’s firm but not frozen solid.
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the mushrooms have released their water.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.
Step 2: Cook the Steak
- Add the thinly sliced ribeye to the empty side of the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, without moving, for 1-2 minutes to get a good sear, then break it up and stir it together with the vegetables.
- Add the minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for one more minute until fragrant. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Transfer the entire meat and vegetable mixture (the “filling”) to a bowl and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. This is important so it doesn’t melt the cheese or make the roast beef soggy.
Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay a slice of roast beef flat on a cutting board. If the slices are small, you can overlap two slightly.
- Place a half-slice of provolone cheese (or a sprinkle of shredded cheese) in the center of the roast beef.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled filling over the cheese.
- Tightly roll up the roast beef, tucking in the sides as you go to encase the filling. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining roast beef, cheese, and filling.
Step 4: Bake and Serve
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, just until the roast beef is heated through and the cheese is completely melted.
- For a more golden top, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
- Let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
Air Fryer Method
- Assemble the roll-ups as directed.
- Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, seam-side down. You may need to work in batches.
- Air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 6-8 minutes, or until heated through and crispy on the outside.
Keto Notes & Pro-Tips
· Net Carbs: The entire recipe is very low-carb. The primary carbs come from the onions and peppers. Each roll-up should be approximately 2-3g net carbs.
· Avoid Soggy Roll-Ups: Letting the filling cool completely is the most critical step to prevent excess moisture from making the roast beef wraps soggy.
· Cheese Choices: Provolone is classic, but Cheez Whiz (check labels for carbs), white American cheese, or mozzarella are also excellent, melty options.
· Thinly Sliced Steak: Look for “shaved steak” or “cheesesteak meat” in the freezer section of your grocery store to save time.
· Make it an Appetizer: Use smaller slices of roast beef and less filling to create bite-sized roll-ups perfect for parties.
