How to Make Delicious Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups Recipe
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients so everything is at your fingertips. Slice the ribeye thinly into strips — this ensures quick, even cooking and a tender bite. Chop the bell peppers and sweet onion into small, even pieces to allow them to soften and blend perfectly with the beef during cooking.
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
Warm the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and bell peppers and let them cook gently for about 5 to 7 minutes until they become soft and translucent, releasing their natural sweetness. These veggies are the base that add texture and vibrant flavor to your roll ups.
Step 3: Cook the Beef
Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the natural flavors. Stir frequently and cook the meat until it’s nicely browned, which usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. This step builds the juicy, savory meat layer that Philly cheesesteak lovers crave.
Step 4: Melt the Cheese
Reduce the heat to low and arrange the provolone slices evenly over the cooked beef and veggies. Allow the cheese to melt fully, creating a luscious blanket that binds all the ingredients together and infuses the filling with creamy goodness.
Step 5: Assemble the Roll Ups
Spoon the cheesy beef mixture down the center of each low-carb tortilla. Be generous to ensure every bite bursts with flavor. Then, roll each tortilla tightly to enclose all the savory fillings neatly, making for easy, mess-free eating.
Step 6: Brown the Roll Ups
Place the roll ups seam-side down back into the skillet over medium heat. Cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes, turning gently to ensure all sides turn golden brown and slightly crisp. This adds a delightful crunch and seals in all the delicious juices.
How to Serve Delicious Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups Recipe
Garnishes
To elevate your presentation and add a fresh kick, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or thinly sliced green onions on top. A dollop of keto-friendly ranch dressing or a few drops of hot sauce can bring a delightful tang and heat that perfectly complements the savory roll ups.
Side Dishes
Pair your Philly cheesesteak roll ups with a crisp mixed green salad or some roasted garlic parmesan cauliflower for a satisfying keto-friendly meal. These sides add freshness or extra texture without taking away from the star of the show.
Creative Ways to Present
For a fun twist, slice the roll ups into bite-sized pinwheels—perfect for parties or snacking. Alternatively, serve them whole alongside a small bowl of creamy cheese dipping sauce or mustard for a hands-on experience everyone will love.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
After cooking, let the roll ups cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them ideal for quick meals or snacks throughout the week.
Freezing
If you want to prep ahead, wrap the assembled but uncooked roll ups tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They freeze beautifully for up to 1 month. When ready, thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking as directed.
Reheating
Reheat leftover roll ups in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and the outside crisps up again. Avoid the microwave if possible to maintain that delicious golden exterior and melty cheese goodness.
FAQs
Can I use other types of cheese in this recipe?
Absolutely! While provolone is traditional, you can experiment with mozzarella, cheddar, or even a spicy pepper jack for a different flavor twist. Just make sure the cheese melts well.
Are these roll ups suitable for other low-carb diets besides keto?
Yes, this recipe fits well within many low-carb lifestyle plans since it keeps carb counts low by using low-carb tortillas and nutrient-rich fillings.
Can I substitute the ribeye with chicken or another protein?
Feel free to swap the ribeye for thinly sliced chicken breast or turkey. Just adjust cooking times accordingly to ensure the meat remains juicy and tender.
How spicy is this recipe? Can I add heat?
This recipe is mild by default, but you can easily add sliced jalapeños, a dash of cayenne pepper, or spicy mustard to turn up the heat to your liking.
What if I can’t find low-carb tortillas?
You can use large leafy greens like collard greens or iceberg lettuce as wraps for an even lighter, carb-free alternative. Just blanch the leaves briefly to make them pliable.
