Ingredients
Cheesesteak Filling
- 1 pound thinly sliced sirloin steak or shaved beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Roll Ups
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 8 thin steak slices or deli roast beef slices
- Toothpicks for securing
Optional Toppings
- Fresh parsley
- Red pepper flakes
- Sugar-free garlic aioli
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced peppers and onions and cook until soft and lightly caramelized, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 2: Add the Garlic and Beef
Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shaved beef, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
Step 3: Prepare the Roll Ups
Lay the steak slices flat on a clean surface. Place one slice of provolone cheese on each piece of beef.
Step 4: Add the Filling
Spoon a small amount of the cheesesteak mixture onto each slice.
Step 5: Roll and Secure
Carefully roll the beef around the filling and secure each roll up with a toothpick.
Step 6: Sear the Roll Ups
Place the roll ups seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly browned and the cheese melts.
Step 7: Rest Briefly
Let the roll ups rest for a couple of minutes before serving so the cheese settles slightly inside.
Step 8: Serve
Serve hot with cauliflower mash, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete keto meal.
Tips for the Best Cheesesteak Roll Ups
- Use thinly sliced beef for easier rolling
