Ingredients for Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these Philly Cheese Roll Ups:

  • 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak (ribeye or skirt steak work great)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large slices provolone cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 6–8 keto-friendly tortillas or low-carb wraps

Pro Tip: Make sure your tortillas are pliable by warming them slightly before rolling. You can use store-bought or make your own flatbreads using this Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe.

How to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls Step-by-Step

Step 1: Sauté the Veggies
In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook for 4–5 minutes or until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 2: Cook the Steak
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the thinly sliced steak. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients
Mix the sautéed vegetables and steak together in the pan. Reduce heat to low and stir in shredded mozzarella until melted and combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls
Lay out the keto tortillas. Place a provolone slice in the center of each. Add about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture on top and roll tightly.

Step 5: Bake or Pan-Fry
Place the rolls seam-side down in a skillet or on a baking sheet. You can either bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes or pan-fry on medium heat until the outside is crisp and golden.

Step 6: Serve Hot
Cut in half, serve with a dipping sauce of choice or a light salad like this Cucumber Dill Salad.
