Ingredients You’ll Need

Let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to create these amazing Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups:

• Steak: Thinly sliced steak, such as ribeye or sirloin, is ideal. You want something tender and flavorful.
• Cheese: Provolone is the classic choice for a Philly Cheesesteak, but you can also use mozzarella or even a blend.
• Onions: Thinly sliced onions, caramelized to sweet and savory perfection.
• Peppers: Optional, but green bell peppers are a common addition. Feel free to use other colors as well.
• Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese forms the base of our roll-up filling, adding creaminess and binding everything together.
• Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor.
• Low Carb Wraps: These are the key to keeping it keto! Look for wraps made from almond flour, coconut flour, or other low-carb alternatives.
• Butter or Oil: For cooking the steak and vegetables.

Step-by-Step Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking!

Alright, friend, time to roll up our sleeves (pun intended!) and get started. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to make these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups:

Step 1: Prep the Steak and Veggies

First things first, let’s get our steak and veggies ready. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. This will ensure it’s tender and easy to chew. Also, thinly slice the onions and bell peppers (if using).

Step 2: Cook the Steak and Veggies

Heat a tablespoon of butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the onions and bell peppers (if using) and cook until softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. You want them to be nice and sweet!

Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Roll-Ups

Now comes the fun part! Lay out your low-carb wraps on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each wrap. Top with the cooked steak, onions, and peppers. Add a generous amount of provolone cheese (or your cheese of choice).

Step 5: Roll ‘Em Up!

Carefully roll up each wrap tightly, like you’re making a burrito. Make sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to keep the filling from spilling out.

Step 6: Brown the Roll-Ups (Optional but Recommended)

This step is optional, but it adds a nice golden-brown color and a slightly crispy texture to the roll-ups. Heat a little butter or oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

Once the roll-ups are golden brown and heated through, remove them from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Then, slice each roll-up into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks for Perfect Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Okay, friend, let’s talk about some tips and tricks to ensure your roll-ups are absolutely perfect:

• Use High-Quality Steak: The better the steak, the better the flavor. Don’t skimp on this ingredient!
• Don’t Overcook the Steak: You want the steak to be cooked through, but not tough. Overcooked steak will be dry and chewy.
• Caramelize the Onions: This is key to getting that authentic Philly Cheesesteak flavor. Be patient and let the onions cook slowly until they’re sweet and golden brown.
• Use Softened Cream Cheese: This will make it easier to spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the wraps.
• Don’t Overfill the Wraps: This will make them difficult to roll and they’ll be more likely to fall apart.
• Tuck in the Sides: This will help keep the filling from spilling out.
• Secure with Toothpicks (Optional): If you’re having trouble keeping the roll-ups closed, you can secure them with toothpicks before cooking. Just remember to remove the toothpicks before serving!
• Warm the Wraps: Warming the wraps slightly before filling them will make them more pliable and less likely to crack. You can warm them in the microwave for a few seconds or in a dry skillet over low heat.

Variations and Customization Options

One of the best things about these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups is that they’re incredibly versatile. Here are some ideas for customizing them to your liking:

• Different Cheeses: Experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or even a spicy pepper jack.
• Add Mushrooms: Sauté some sliced mushrooms along with the onions and peppers for an earthy flavor.
• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture for a spicy kick.
• Garlic Lovers: Add some minced garlic to the skillet when cooking the steak and veggies.
• Different Meats: While traditionally made with steak, you could experiment with other meats like ground beef, shredded chicken, or even sliced turkey.
• Cheese Sauce: Drizzle a keto-friendly cheese sauce over the roll-ups for an extra decadent treat.

Serving Suggestions

These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are delicious on their own, but here are some serving suggestions to take them to the next level:

• Dipping Sauces: Serve with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or a creamy horseradish sauce.
• Side Salad: Pair them with a simple side salad for a light and refreshing meal.
• Coleslaw: A creamy coleslaw is a classic pairing for Philly Cheesesteaks.
• Pickles: Serve with a side of dill pickles for a tangy contrast to the richness of the roll-ups.
• Appetizer Platter: Add them to an appetizer platter with other keto-friendly snacks, such as cheese cubes, olives, and vegetables.

Make-Ahead Instructions

Want to get ahead of the game? You can definitely make these roll-ups in advance! Here’s how:

• Assemble the Roll-Ups: Prepare the roll-ups as instructed, but don’t brown them in the skillet.
• Store in the Refrigerator: Wrap each roll-up tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• Bake or Pan-Fry: When you’re ready to serve, you can either bake the roll-ups in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or pan-fry them in a skillet as instructed.

Storage Instructions

Leftover roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave, oven, or skillet until heated through.
