Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the beef – In a skillet, brown ground beef or thinly sliced steak with onions and bell peppers. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic. Drain any excess liquid.
- Prepare the cheese “wraps” – Lay cheese slices on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes until just bubbly but still pliable.
- Add the filling – Spoon the beef and veggie mixture onto each cheese slice.
- Roll them up – Carefully roll each slice into a log, seam side down.
- Bake again – Return to the oven for 3–5 minutes until golden and set.

Expert Tip: Let the cheese cool slightly before rolling to avoid tearing. If using steak, slice it thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
