• Spoon or spatula

How to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

1. Sauté the Veggies

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.

2. Make the Creamy Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and fully mixed.

3. Assemble the Roll Ups

Lay your roast beef slices flat on a clean surface or cutting board.

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of beef. Top with a spoonful of the sautéed peppers and onions. Then, add a slice of provolone cheese on top.

Gently roll each beef slice into a tight roll and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake and Serve

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Recipe Tips & Variations

• Use different cheeses: Swap provolone for mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for a spicier kick.
• Make it spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a pinch of crushed red pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
• No roast beef? Use thinly sliced cooked steak or leftover prime rib.
• Add mushrooms: Sauté mushrooms along with the peppers and onions for extra umami flavor.
• Make it dairy-free: Use plant-based cream cheese and vegan cheese slices if you’re avoiding dairy.

Storing and Reheating

Leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, place roll ups on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes, or microwave in 30-second bursts until heated through.

These also freeze well—wrap tightly in foil and store in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 375°F for 20–25 minutes.

What to Serve With Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

These roll ups are hearty on their own, but here are a few keto-friendly sides to complete your plate:

• Cauliflower mash
• Zucchini fries
• Keto coleslaw
• Green salad with ranch or blue cheese dressing
• Garlic roasted broccoli

For drinks, a glass of dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon) or a keto lemonade makes a great pairing.

FAQ

Can I use fresh steak instead of deli roast beef?
Absolutely! Thinly slice raw steak and quickly sear it in the skillet before assembling the roll ups.

Are these roll ups good for meal prep?
Yes, they reheat very well and make a great portable lunch.

Can I skip the cream cheese?
You can, but the cream cheese adds flavor and helps bind the filling. For a dairy-free version, try mashed avocado or a dollop of keto-friendly mayo.

How many carbs per serving?
Each serving (about two roll ups) contains roughly 4–5g net carbs, depending on the brand of cheese and beef you use.
