Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make the best keto Philly cheesesteak rolls:

For the Filling:

• 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small green bell pepper, sliced

• 1 small yellow onion, sliced

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 6 slices provolone cheese

For the Dough:

• 1 ¾ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 2 tablespoons cream cheese

• 1 cup almond flour

• 1 large egg

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• Pinch of salt

Equipment

• Non-stick skillet

• Mixing bowls

• Parchment paper

• Rolling pin (optional)

• Baking sheet

How to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 5-6 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.

Push the veggies to one side of the pan, then add the thinly sliced steak. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

Mix the steak and vegetables together, remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Keto Dough

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and well combined.

Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the melted cheese. Mix until a dough forms. It will be sticky at first—knead it gently until smooth. You can chill the dough for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

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

Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Flatten each piece into a rectangle (you can use your hands or a rolling pin). Place a slice of provolone on each dough rectangle, then add a generous spoonful of the cheesesteak mixture.

Carefully roll the dough over the filling, sealing the edges and forming a log shape. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling slightly at the edges.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for Success

• Use well-marbled steak like ribeye for maximum flavor and tenderness.

• Slice meat thinly to ensure quick cooking and even texture.

• Freeze the dough for 10 minutes if it’s too sticky to handle.

• Add mushrooms or jalapeños to the filling for extra flavor.

• Reheat in an oven or air fryer to retain crispness.

Variations

• Keto Cheesesteak Bites: Roll the dough thinner and cut into smaller portions for party appetizers.

• Spicy Keto Cheesesteak Rolls: Add sliced jalapeños and pepper jack cheese.

• Breakfast Rolls: Replace steak with scrambled eggs and bacon for a morning-friendly version.

• Chicken Philly Version: Substitute chicken breast for a leaner option.

Serving Suggestions

These rolls are hearty enough to be a main course, but they also pair beautifully with:

• A crisp keto Caesar salad

• Roasted broccoli or Brussels sprouts

• Pickles and olives

• Low-carb ranch or chipotle mayo dipping sauce

Make Ahead and Storage

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

• Freezer: Freeze baked rolls in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

• Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 8-10 minutes. Microwave works too but may soften the dough.

Nutrition Information (Per Roll)

Common Questions

Can I use ground beef instead of steak?

Yes, ground beef can be used in place of sliced steak. Just cook it fully and drain excess fat before mixing with veggies.

What if I’m dairy-free?

Try a dairy-free mozzarella substitute and omit the provolone, or use a dairy-free version.

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

No, coconut flour absorbs more moisture and won’t yield the same dough texture.
