Ingredients:
- 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 package of low-carb tortillas or wraps (optional)
Preparing the Steak and Vegetables
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. I love using a cast-iron skillet for this because it retains heat so well.
- Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the skillet. Season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned but not overcooked. You want it to be tender and juicy.
- Next, add the sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. The aroma will be absolutely mouthwatering!
- Once the vegetables are cooked, stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning. This adds a depth of flavor that really makes the dish pop. Remove the skillet from heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Preparing the Cheese Mixture
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded provolone cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. I like to use a hand mixer for this step to ensure everything is well blended and creamy.
- Mix until the cheeses are fully combined and smooth. This cheesy mixture will be the star of our roll-ups, so make sure it’s nice and creamy!
Assembling the Roll-Ups
- If you’re using low-carb tortillas or wraps, lay one flat on a clean surface. If you’re skipping the wraps, you can simply layer the steak and cheese mixture directly onto a greased baking dish.
- Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. This will help keep everything contained when we roll it up.
- Next, spoon a portion of the steak and vegetable mixture onto the cheese-covered tortilla. Be careful not to overfill it, or it will be difficult to roll.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. I like to tuck in the sides as I roll to keep everything secure. Place the rolled-up tortilla seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until everything is assembled. You should have a beautiful array of roll-ups ready for the oven!
Baking the Roll-Ups
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is the perfect temperature to get those roll-ups nice and golden.
- Once the oven is preheated, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. This will help keep the roll-ups moist while they bake.
- Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
Serving the Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups
- Once the roll-ups are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. This will make them easier to slice and serve.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces. I usually aim for about 1-2 inches in width, but you can adjust based on your preference. <
Conclusion:
In summary, these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are an absolute must-try for anyone looking to indulge in a delicious, low-carb meal that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
