ingredients

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

• Thinly sliced steak (like ribeye, sirloin, or shaved beef)

• Bell peppers, thinly sliced (green, red, or a mix)

• Onion, thinly sliced

• Provolone cheese slices

• Olive oil or butter

• Garlic, minced

• Salt

• Black pepper

• Optional: Worcestershire sauce or steak seasoning for extra flavor

directions

1. I heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.

2. I sauté the sliced peppers and onions until soft and lightly caramelized, about 6–8 minutes. I add the garlic in the last minute and season with salt and pepper.

3. I remove the veggies from the pan and set them aside.

4. In the same skillet, I cook the steak slices for 1–2 minutes per side until just browned. I season them to taste.

5. I lay each steak slice flat, top with a slice of provolone and a spoonful of the pepper-onion mixture, then roll it up.

6. I place the roll ups seam-side down in the skillet or a baking dish, cover, and cook on low heat (or in a 375°F oven) for 5–7 minutes until the cheese melts and everything is heated through.

7. I serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or chopped parsley if I want a little something extra.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 servings (2–3 roll ups per person). It takes around 10 minutes to prep and 15–20 minutes to cook, so it’s ready in about 30 minutes total.

Variations

Sometimes I add mushrooms or swap provolone for mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for a spicier version. I’ve also made these with chicken or deli roast beef in a pinch. For a saucy twist, I drizzle them with keto-friendly cheese sauce or a bit of sugar-free steak sauce before serving.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm them in a skillet or oven at 350°F until heated through. The microwave works too, but I prefer the skillet to maintain texture.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. I prep and roll them in advance, then store in the fridge and bake or reheat when ready to serve.

What’s the best cut of steak to use?

Thin-sliced ribeye or sirloin works best. I sometimes buy pre-shaved beef to save time.

Is this recipe freezer-friendly?

Yes. I freeze them fully cooked, then thaw overnight and reheat in the oven until warmed through.

Can I use different cheese?

Absolutely. I love provolone for its meltiness and flavor, but any low-carb, meltable cheese works.

What sides go well with this?

I usually serve them with a green salad, roasted veggies, or cauliflower mash for a filling keto meal.

These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are a flavorful, low-carb way to enjoy a classic comfort food without the bread. Loaded with melty cheese, sautéed veggies, and juicy steak, they’re simple to make and satisfying enough for any meal.
