Ingredients You’ll Need

For the “Roll”

• 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 2 large Eggs
• 1/4 cup Almond Flour
• 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/4 tsp Onion Powder

For the Filling

• 1 lb thinly sliced Steak (Ribeye or Sirloin recommended)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 Onion, thinly sliced
• 1 Green Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
• 4 oz sliced Mushrooms (optional)
• 4 slices Provolone Cheese (or Mozzarella)
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Optional Toppings

• Keto-friendly Ketchup
• Mustard
• Pickles
• Jalapeños

Step-by-Step Instructions

Getting Started

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is crucial, trust me! It prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

Making the “Roll”

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. A hand mixer makes this super easy, but a good old-fashioned whisk works too.
2. Add the eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, and onion powder to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined. The batter should be smooth and lump-free.
3. Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a thin, even layer, about 12×10 inches. Aim for a uniform thickness to ensure even baking.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the “roll” is set and lightly golden. Keep a close eye on it! Ovens vary, and you don’t want it to burn.
5. Let the “roll” cool slightly on the baking sheet. This will make it easier to handle without tearing.

Preparing the Philly Cheesesteak Filling

1. While the “roll” is baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through. Don’t overcrowd the pan! Cook in batches if necessary to ensure the steak browns properly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened and slightly caramelized. If you’re using mushrooms, add them now and cook until tender.
5. Return the steak to the skillet with the vegetables and mix well.

Assembling the Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

1. Carefully transfer the cooled cream cheese “roll” to a clean, flat surface. You might want to use the parchment paper to help you lift it.
2. Evenly spread the Philly cheesesteak filling over the “roll,” leaving a small border along the edges.
3. Top with the provolone cheese slices.
4. Starting from one end, carefully roll up the “roll” tightly. Use the parchment paper to help you guide it.
5. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces.
6. Place the roll-ups cut-side up on a baking sheet.
7. Bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips for the Perfect Roll Ups

Dealing with a Sticky “Roll”

Sometimes the cream cheese “roll” can be a bit sticky. If you’re having trouble rolling it, try chilling it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before adding the filling. This will make it firmer and easier to handle.

Choosing the Right Steak

Ribeye or sirloin are excellent choices for this recipe because they’re tender and flavorful. Make sure the steak is thinly sliced for the best results. You can often find pre-sliced steak at the grocery store, which saves time and effort.

Adding Extra Flavor

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different seasonings! A dash of Worcestershire sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a nice kick to the filling. You can also add a clove of minced garlic to the vegetables for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are delicious on their own, but they also pair well with a variety of sides. Consider serving them with a side salad, Cheeseburger Soup, or some roasted vegetables. They’re also great with keto-friendly dips like ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing.

Variations to Try

Spicy Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Add some diced jalapeños to the filling for a spicy kick. You can also use pepper jack cheese instead of provolone for extra heat.

Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Substitute the steak with cooked and shredded chicken for a lighter option. This is a great way to use up leftover chicken.

Pizza Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Add some marinara sauce and pepperoni to the filling for a pizza-inspired twist. Use mozzarella cheese instead of provolone.

Storing Leftovers

Leftover Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave them, but they may become a bit soggy.
