- Small onion (1, sliced): Caramelizes perfectly for that authentic Philly flavor.
- Provolone cheese (8 slices): Melts into a deliciously stretchy vessel to wrap all your savory fillings.
- Worcestershire sauce (1 teaspoon): Infuses the steak with umami depth and classic savory notes.
- Garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon): Lends a subtle, savory backbone that enhances every bite.

How to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
Heat your olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add those sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook them for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re beautifully tender and beginning to caramelize around the edges. This step brings out their sweetness and sets the stage for those signature cheesesteak flavors!
Step 2: Cook the Steak
Transfer your sautéed veggies to a plate, then add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the hot skillet. Season it with garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for about 4–5 minutes, or until the steak is nicely browned and cooked through. You’re building that savory, beefy flavor base that makes Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups irresistible.
Step 3: Melt the Provolone Cheese
Arrange the provolone slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop them under the broiler for just 1–2 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted but still soft and pliable. This is your keto-friendly “wrap” so you want it gooey, not crispy!
Step 4: Assemble the Roll Ups
Once the cheese is melty and flexible, quickly add a generous spoonful of the cooked steak, peppers, and onions to the center of each slice. Carefully roll up each slice to snugly enclose the filling, using the cheese to wrap it all up in savory goodness.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Place your finished Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups on a serving plate and shower them with a handful of chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while everything is steamy, stretchy, and tantalizingly aromatic.
How to Serve Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups
Garnishes
A sprinkle of fresh parsley is the simplest way to add a little color and herby brightness to your platter. If you want to get extra creative, try a drizzle of sugar-free steak sauce or a smattering of red pepper flakes for an extra kick!
Side Dishes
Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups pair perfectly with a crisp green salad, roasted cauliflower, or some air-fried zucchini fries. For dipping, a small bowl of au jus or grainy mustard adds another layer of flavor without breaking your carb budget.
Creative Ways to Present
Stack the roll ups in a pyramid for a dramatic party appetizer, or slice them into bite-sized pinwheels for game night snacks. For a full dinner, nestle them alongside a colorful platter of roasted veggies and serve with individual mini tongs or skewers for easy grabbing.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh and flavorful for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep or grab-and-go lunches.
Freezing
If you’d like to freeze your roll ups, let them cool completely first. Wrap each one tightly in parchment or wax paper, then place in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep well in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just be sure to thaw fully in the fridge before reheating for best texture.
Reheating
For best results, reheat Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a 350°F oven for about 8–10 minutes. This helps the cheese stay melty without becoming rubbery. You can also microwave them for 30–45 seconds if you’re in a hurry, though the oven yields a better texture.
FAQs
Can I use a different cut of steak for these roll ups?
Absolutely! While ribeye is traditional and extra juicy, you can use thinly sliced sirloin, flank, or even leftover steak. Just make sure it’s sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Is there a dairy-free option for the cheese wrap?
Yes, dairy-free cheese slices that melt well can step in, though the flavor and texture will be a bit different. Look for brands that are known for good melting properties for best results.
Can I make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups ahead for meal prep?
Definitely! Assemble and refrigerate your roll ups, and reheat them just before serving. This makes them a lifesaver for busy midweek lunches or easy dinners.
What can I use instead of green bell pepper?
Red, yellow, or orange bell peppers work great and add extra sweetness and color. You can even add some thinly sliced mushrooms for an earthy twist on the classic.
How do I keep the cheese from sticking to the baking sheet?
Always line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures the provolone remains easy to lift and won’t turn into a gooey mess, making assembly much more pleasant.
Final Thoughts
If you’re searching for a dish that’s fast, family-friendly, and packed with bold flavors, Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are bound to become a regular in your rotation. Give them a try and let their melty, savory goodness win over your table—trust me, everyone will be asking for seconds!
