2. Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Ready in 30 minutes: Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner that doesn’t require hours in the kitchen.
- One-pan or one-wrap: Minimal clean-up with easy-to-handle ingredients wrapped in a low-carb keto-friendly wrap.
- Versatile and customizable: Swap out cheeses or add peppers for variation.
- Deliciously satisfying: Crispy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor — just like traditional Philly cheesesteaks, but healthier.
3. Ingredient Notes
High-quality beef: Choose thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin for authentic flavor and tender texture. Freshly sliced or thin-cut steaks will cook faster and stay juicy. For a more budget-friendly option, frozen steak strips work beautifully if sliced thin.
Cheese options: Classic provolone, white American, or mozzarella adds melty goodness. For a sharper kick, you can try cheddar or pepper jack.
Low-carb wraps: Look for keto-friendly wraps that are high in fiber and low in net carbs. You can also use large lettuce leaves or sliced zucchini for a fresh, crunchy substitute.
Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder enhance the beef’s natural flavor. A splash of Worcestershire sauce adds depth.
4. Kitchen Tools You Need
To whip up these keto steak roll-ups, you’ll want some reliable kitchen gear. Consider the Compact 6-in-1 Digital Air Fryer — it’s perfect for crispy edges without excessive oil, and cooks quickly with even heat. A good cast iron skillet or nonstick pan (like the T-fal 14-Piece Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set) ensures your beef gets a perfect sear and melts cheese evenly. Sharp knives and a cutting board are essential for prepping ingredients.
5. How to Make Easy Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
Thinly slice your steak, then season with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powders. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Once hot, add the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. The aroma of seasoned beef sizzling is one of the first signs you’re on the right track.
Step 2: Assemble the Rolls
Lay your low-carb wrap flat on a plate. Spoon the cooked beef evenly across the center, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Optional: add sautéed peppers or onions for extra flavor. Roll tightly, folding in the sides for a neat package.
Step 3: Cook for Crispy Perfection
Place the rolls in your air fryer or skillet. If using an air fryer, set it to 370°F (188°C) and cook for 6-8 minutes until the outside is crispy and the cheese is melted. If using a skillet, sear each side for about 2-3 minutes. The outside should be golden and crispy, and the cheese gooey inside. The smell of beef and melted cheese is simply irresistible.
6. Expert Tips for Success
- Thin slices are key: The faster cooking and better flavor absorption make a big difference.
- Preheat your pan or air fryer: Ensures a perfect crisp on the wrap edges.
- Don’t overload: Keep fillings balanced for easy rolling and even cooking.
- Cheese sealing: Let the cheese melt slightly before rolling to help keep everything together.
7. Variations & Substitutions
If you’re dairy-free, try vegan cheese options or omit cheese altogether. Coconut aminos or soy sauce can replace Worcestershire for lower carb options, and sliced zucchini or collard greens work as wraps instead of traditional keto tortillas. For added heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or hot sauce inside the roll before wrapping.
8. Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, crisp in the air fryer or warm in a skillet to restore that freshly-made crunch and melty cheese. They make a perfect meal prep option for busy weekdays.
9. FAQ
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, assemble the rolls and refrigerate them. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes until crispy and hot.
Are these keto cheesesteak wraps gluten-free?
They can be, especially if you use gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves. Always check packaging for added ingredients.
What’s the best cheese for melting?
Provolone and mozzarella are excellent choices for that gooey, cheesy texture that makes these low-carb cheesesteak wraps so irresistible.
