Ingredients for Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups
Here’s what you’ll need to make this low-carb version of the classic Philly cheesesteak:
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or shaved steak for a more traditional feel)
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 8 slices provolone cheese (large, deli-style)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Dietary Notes:
- Gluten-Free? Yes! No flour, no grains.
- Dairy-Free Option? Try dairy-free cheese slices or skip cheese (use lettuce wraps instead).
- Low-FODMAP? Replace onion with green onion tips and use garlic-infused olive oil.
How to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups – Step by Step
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Sauté Onions
In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tbsp olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Step 3: Brown the Beef
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up as it cooks, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
Step 4: Add Peppers & Spices
Stir in the thinly sliced green bell pepper and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until slightly softened. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to taste.
Step 5: Prep the Cheese
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange 8 slices of provolone in an overlapping rectangle (4×2 or 2×4). Bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly but still pliable.
Step 6: Roll ‘Em Up
Let the cheese cool for about 1 minute (it should be cool enough to handle but not stiff). Spoon the beef mixture along one edge and gently roll the cheese over the filling to form a log. Repeat for each set of slices.
Step 7: Bake Again (Optional)
For extra crispy edges, place the roll-ups back in the oven for 2–3 more minutes.
Step 8: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot and gooey!
