Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups are a low-carb, flavorful twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Instead of bread, thinly sliced steak and sautéed veggies are wrapped in a cheesy, egg-based roll that’s perfect for a quick meal or snack. They’re rich, satisfying, and perfectly keto-friendly.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it captures all the savory goodness of a traditional Philly cheesesteak without the carbs from the bread. The roll-ups are easy to make, packed with protein, and customizable to fit my taste. Plus, they’re great for meal prep or a fast keto-friendly lunch when I’m short on time.

ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
  • Bell peppers (green or mixed colors), thinly sliced
  • Onion, thinly sliced
  • Provolone or mozzarella cheese slices
  • Eggs
  • Heavy cream
  • Butter or olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder (optional)
  • Worcestershire sauce (optional)

directions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add butter or olive oil. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until they soften and begin to caramelize. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Season the thinly sliced steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In the same skillet, cook the steak until browned but still tender. Add Worcestershire sauce if using and stir to combine.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and a splash of heavy cream. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into a nonstick pan over medium heat, spreading it out evenly to make a thin egg “sheet.” Cook until set but not browned. Carefully flip to cook the other side briefly.
  5. Remove the egg sheet from the pan and lay it flat. Place cheese slices evenly on top, then add the cooked steak, onions, and peppers.
  6. Roll the egg sheet tightly, enclosing the filling, to form the roll-ups. Slice into bite-sized pieces or serve whole.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 3 to 4 roll-ups, serving 2 to 3 people depending on appetite. It takes roughly 25 to 30 minutes from start to finish, making it a quick keto meal option.

Variations

I sometimes like to swap out the ribeye for ground beef or chicken for a different texture. Adding mushrooms or jalapeños gives the roll-ups an extra kick. Using different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack can also change up the flavor profile nicely.

storage/reheating

These roll-ups store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I prefer warming them gently in a skillet or microwave until heated through, being careful not to overcook the eggs.

FAQs

Can I use other cuts of beef?

Yes, you can use sirloin, flank steak, or even ground beef if thinly sliced steak isn’t available. Just adjust cooking times accordingly.

Are these roll-ups suitable for other low-carb diets?

Absolutely! They fit perfectly into keto, Atkins, and other low-carb eating plans.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, they store well and can be made in advance for meal prep or quick lunches.

What can I substitute for heavy cream in the egg mixture?

I sometimes use full-fat coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk, but heavy cream gives the best richness.

How do I prevent the egg sheet from tearing?

Make sure the egg mixture is spread evenly and cooked on medium heat. Using a nonstick pan and gently loosening the edges before flipping helps keep it intact.

Conclusion

Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups are a delicious, low-carb way to enjoy the flavors of a classic sandwich without breaking keto. I find them perfect for busy days or when I want something filling but light on carbs. With simple ingredients and quick prep, they’ve become one of my favorite go-to keto meals.
