Ingredients

For the Roll Base:

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• ½ tsp baking powder

For the Filling:

• 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the cheese dough (fathead dough): In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat for 1 minute, stir, then heat again for 30 seconds until fully melted.
3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in almond flour and baking powder until a soft dough forms. Mix in the egg until smooth.
4. Roll out the dough: Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangular shape, about ¼ inch thick.
5. Prepare the filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil. Sauté onions and peppers until soft, about 5 minutes. Add sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned.
6. Assemble the rolls: Spoon the steak mixture evenly over the dough. Place slices of provolone on top.
7. Roll it up: Using the parchment to help, roll the dough tightly over the filling like a burrito.
8. Bake: Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
9. Serve hot: Slice, garnish with parsley, and enjoy the melty, cheesy goodness.

Tips for Perfect Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls

• Use thin steak: The thinner the steak, the more tender the result. Ribeye or sirloin works best.
• Don’t overstuff: Keep fillings moderate to prevent the dough from tearing.
• Melt the cheese evenly: Ensure the mozzarella and cream cheese blend smoothly for a stretchy dough.
• Add spice: For heat, sprinkle in chili flakes or jalapeños.

Variations You’ll Love

• Mushroom Lover’s Cheesesteak: Add sautéed mushrooms for earthy richness.
• Spicy Jalapeño Roll: Mix in sliced jalapeños and a sprinkle of cayenne for a kick.
• BBQ Twist: Add a drizzle of sugar-free BBQ sauce to the filling for smoky-sweet flavor.
• Cheese Explosion: Try a mix of provolone, cheddar, and mozzarella for triple-cheese bliss.

What to Serve With Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls

Pair these cheesy rolls with:

• A crisp green salad or Caesar salad.
• Roasted or grilled vegetables.
• Cauliflower mash or zucchini fries for an all-keto feast.

They also make a perfect game-day snack or party appetizer when cut into smaller bites.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to maintain crispness. These also freeze beautifully—just wrap tightly and thaw overnight before baking again.

Fun Fact

The original Philly cheesesteak was created in Philadelphia in the 1930s. Traditionally served in a hoagie roll with onions and cheese, it quickly became an American icon. This keto version gives you the same bold, meaty flavor without the carbs—perfect for those balancing comfort and health.
