1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
1 ½ cups (170 g) provolone cheese (or mozzarella/cheddar, shredded)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika

Instructions / Method

Follow these step-by-step directions for foolproof Keto Cheesesteak Roll-Ups.

Step 1: Prep the Beef

Lay out thin beef slices on a clean surface. If too thick, pound lightly with a meat mallet for even rolling.
Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper for flavor.

Pro Tip: Partially freeze beef before slicing for paper-thin strips.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil (15 ml) in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat (180°C / 350°F).
Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
Remove from skillet and set aside.

Visual cue: Peppers should look glossy, onions lightly golden.

Step 3: Sear the Beef

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil.
Add beef slices, cooking 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not overcooked.
Remove from heat.

Pro Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches for a better sear.

Step 4: Assemble Roll-Ups

Lay beef slices flat. Place a spoonful of peppers, onions, and shredded cheese in the center.
Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.

Step 5: Bake or Skillet-Finish

Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F.
Arrange roll-ups in a baking dish, sprinkle extra cheese on top.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese melts and beef is tender.

Alternative: Finish on skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, covered.

Serve & Enjoy

Remove toothpicks, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Pair with a side salad, roasted veggies, or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.

Make-Ahead Option: Prepare roll-ups in advance, refrigerate up to 24 hours, then bake when ready.
