Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Why I Love This Recipe

I love how this recipe gives me all the comfort food vibes without the carbs. It’s quick, filling, and doesn’t leave me feeling heavy afterward. Plus, the melted cheese used as the wrap is such a clever and delicious twist. It’s perfect when I want something indulgent but still keto-friendly.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Thinly sliced beef (like ribeye or sirloin)
Bell peppers (green, red, or a mix), sliced
Onion, thinly sliced
Garlic, minced
Provolone or mozzarella cheese slices (used as wraps)
Olive oil or avocado oil
Salt and pepper
Optional: cream cheese or shredded cheddar for a richer filling

Directions

Cook the Veggies:
- I heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Then I sauté the onions and peppers until they’re tender and slightly caramelized. I remove them from the pan and set them aside.
Cook the Beef:
- In the same pan, I add more oil if needed and cook the sliced beef until it’s browned and cooked through. I season it with salt, pepper, and a bit of garlic while it cooks.
Combine the Filling:
- I add the cooked onions and peppers back into the pan with the beef, stirring everything together. If I’m using cream cheese or shredded cheese, I stir it in now until melted and everything is coated.
Make the Cheese Wraps:
- I place slices of cheese (like provolone or mozzarella) on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F until the edges are just starting to brown—about 5-6 minutes. Once out of the oven, I let them cool for a few seconds until they’re flexible.
Roll It Up:
- I spoon some of the cheesesteak mixture onto each cheese round and roll them up tightly while still warm. Then I serve immediately.

Servings and Timing

Servings: About 4 roll ups per person (makes around 4 servings)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Variations

Spicy Kick: I add jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
Different Cheese: I like trying it with cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss.
Mushroom Lovers: I add sautéed mushrooms to the filling for a deeper umami flavor.
Low-fat option: I use leaner beef and skip the cream cheese for a lighter version.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: I reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. They taste best warmed up until just melty again.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often prep the beef and veggie filling in advance and store it in the fridge. When ready, I just melt the cheese, roll them up, and serve fresh.

What kind of cheese works best for the wraps?

I like provolone or mozzarella because they melt well and stay flexible for rolling. Any cheese that melts into a sheet and holds together works great.

Can I use ground beef instead of sliced?

Absolutely. I’ve made this with ground beef plenty of times. It’s faster to cook and just as tasty.

Are these good for meal prep?

Yes, I find them great for meal prep. I store the filling and cheese separately, then assemble and heat when ready to eat so the cheese doesn’t get rubbery.

Can I freeze them?

I don’t recommend freezing the assembled roll ups, as the cheese wrap texture changes. But the filling freezes really well—just thaw, heat, and roll when ready.

Conclusion

These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are a clever, satisfying, and low-carb way to enjoy a classic comfort food. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and packed with bold, cheesy flavor. Whether I’m watching carbs or just craving a hearty, mess-free meal, this recipe always hits the spot.
