Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb ribeye steak, sliced thin
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
Cheese and Seasonings
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large lettuce leaves (for wrapping)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering and hot, preparing it for sautéing the vegetables.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cook the steak: Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the skillet with the softened vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Season the mixture: Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the meat and vegetable mixture.
- Add the cheeses: Remove the skillet from heat. Immediately stir in the softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella until they melt completely and combine into a creamy, cohesive filling.
- Assemble the rolls: Spoon the cheesy steak mixture evenly onto large lettuce leaves. Carefully roll each leaf to encase the filling, creating easy-to-eat rolls.
- Serve: Serve the keto Philly cheesesteak rolls immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use ribeye steak thinly sliced for tenderness and authentic flavor.
- Softening cream cheese before adding helps it melt smoothly into the filling.
- Choose large, sturdy lettuce leaves such as Romaine or Butter lettuce for easier rolling.
- These rolls can be served as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
- To make the recipe dairy-free, substitute the cream cheese and mozzarella with vegan cheese alternatives.
