Why I Love This Recipe
I grew up loving Philly cheesesteaks, but when I started watching my carb intake, I needed a way to bring those flavors back—without the hoagie roll. These roll-ups do exactly that, with:
- Juicy steak that stays tender
- Melty cheese in every bite
- Sweet bell peppers and onions for classic cheesesteak flavor
- Easy prep and minimal cleanup
- Zero guilt—they’re keto and gluten-free!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 ½ lbs flank steak or ribeye, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional but adds depth)
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- Toothpicks or kitchen twine, for securing
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Ingredient Swaps & Notes
- Cheese: Provolone gives that authentic cheesesteak flavor, but mozzarella or even pepper jack works too.
- Steak: Ask your butcher to slice it thin, or partially freeze the steak for easier slicing at home.
- Add-ins: Mushrooms or jalapeños can add variety if you like some heat or earthiness.
How to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease.
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add onions and bell peppers; cook for 4–5 minutes, until soft.
- Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika; cook another minute.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Roll Ups
- Lay each steak slice flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon a bit of the veggie mixture onto each one.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Roll up tightly and secure with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
Step 4: Bake
- Place roll-ups seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until steak is cooked through and cheese is melty.
- Let rest 2–3 minutes before serving.
Step 5: Serve
- Remove toothpicks or twine.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
- Enjoy as-is or pair with a light green salad or cauliflower mash.
Tips for Success
- Slicing Tip: Freeze your steak for 20–30 minutes before slicing for cleaner, thinner cuts.
- Don’t overstuff: It’s tempting, but too much filling can make rolling difficult.
- Make ahead: Assemble in the morning and bake at dinnertime.
- Double up: These reheat well and make great lunch leftovers!

Pair your roll-ups with:
- Steamed broccoli
