Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients List

  • 1 lb (≈450 g) thinly sliced beef steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (green, red, or yellow)
  • 4 oz (≈115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools

This recipe keeps the cooking process straightforward, using basic kitchen tools you likely already have on hand. You won’t need any specialized equipment.

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Aluminum foil (for rolling)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, cooking them for 5-7 minutes until they soften and begin to caramelize. The vibrant colors of the peppers contrast beautifully with the golden onions, creating an inviting aroma.
  2. While the vegetables cook, season the thinly sliced beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Once the vegetables are ready, push them to the side of the skillet and add the beef. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned and cooked through.
  3. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the softened cream cheese into the meat mixture. Stir until it coats the beef and vegetables evenly, creating a creamy consistency. This mixture will not only flavor the filling but also bind it together.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while preparing the roll-ups. Lay out sheets of foil for wrapping the rolls. Take a generous portion of the beef-vegetable mixture and place it on one end of each sheet of foil. Top with a sprinkle of provolone cheese for added flavor.
  5. Carefully roll the foil around the filling, tucking in the ends to create a neat package. Place the roll-ups seam side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the exterior to become lightly golden.
  6. Once finished, remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Carefully peel back the foil, revealing the delicious roll-ups. Serve immediately or let them cool and store them in the fridge for later enjoyment.

Pro Tips

  • For extra flavor, marinate the beef in Worcestershire sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Consider adding sliced mushrooms to the vegetable mix for additional texture.
  • Leftover roll-ups can be reheated in a skillet or enjoyed cold as a quick snack.

What to Serve With Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

The rich, savory flavors of these roll-ups pair beautifully with a variety of sides and dips. For a traditional contrast, consider serving them with a light green salad dressed in a simple vinaigrette. The freshness of the greens balances the richness of the beef and cheese while adding a delightful crunch. Additionally, a side of roasted Brussels sprouts or asparagus brings a complementary earthy note to the meal.

If you enjoy dipping your food, a keto-friendly ranch or blue cheese dressing makes an excellent accompaniment. The creamy dips echo the textures of the roll-ups and enhance their overall taste. Alternatively, you can serve these roll-ups with a cauliflower mash to further emphasize the low-carb theme while ensuring a satisfying experience.

All these simple pairings bring out the best in the roll-ups, making them versatile for any family gathering or casual dinner.
