Easy Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) sliced ribeye steak or flank steak
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (green, red, or yellow)
- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Cooking Instructions
- Prepare the Steak Filling: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, toss in the sliced steak, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the steak is nicely browned (about 3-4 minutes), stirring occasionally to get it all even.
- Add Vegetables: Next, throw in the diced bell peppers and onions. Give them a stir and sauté until everything is softened and smelling amazing (about 3-5 minutes). Take off the heat and let it cool down a bit.
- Make Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the shredded mozzarella. Mix it all until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Rolls: Now, grab a slice of provolone cheese and lay it out flat. Spread a generous tablespoon of the cheesy mixture on top, and then add a spoonful of your delicious steak filling. Roll it up tightly, starting from one end to the other.
- Repeat: Do this for all your remaining provolone slices, filling them up just like the first one.
- Brown the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them bake for about 15-20 minutes until they’re all golden brown and the cheese is melting beautifully.
- Garnish and Serve: Take them out of the oven and let them cool for a minute. If you like, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top for that extra touch! Serve warm—enjoy your delicious Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls!
Practical Tips for Success
- If your steak slices are not thin enough, you can freeze them for about 30 minutes before cutting; this makes it easier to slice.
- For an extra crisp, broil them for 1-2 minutes at the end—just keep a close eye so they don’t burn!
- You can prep the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days before assembly!
