What Kind of Puff Pastry Should I Use?

For a keto-friendly version, traditional puff pastry is off the table due to its high carb content. Instead, opt for a low-carb fathead dough or a store-bought keto puff pastry alternative. These options offer a surprisingly authentic bite and flaky texture, without derailing your carb count.


Ingredients for the Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Ribeye Steak
The star of the show. Thinly sliced ribeye provides the classic cheesesteak flavor and a tender, juicy texture when seared.

Green Bell Pepper
Adds color, a mild sweet crunch, and pairs perfectly with the richness of the beef.

Onion
Caramelized until soft and golden, onions bring out a natural sweetness and depth of flavor.

Provolone Cheese
A must for that creamy, melty factor. It tucks everything together in cheesy goodness.

Keto Puff Pastry or Fathead Dough
To wrap things up—literally. This keeps it low-carb and holds all the fillings together in a crispy shell.

Olive Oil
Used for sautéing the veggies and beef, it infuses a smooth, savory base to the entire dish.

Salt & Pepper
Simple but essential. These amplify the natural flavors of your filling.

Egg Wash
Brushed over the pastry for that picture-perfect golden crust.


How To Make the Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until caramelized and soft, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Steak

In the same pan, sear the thinly sliced ribeye until just browned. Season with salt and pepper. Combine with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

Roll out your fathead dough or keto puff pastry into a rectangular sheet. Cut into smaller sections depending on your roll-up size preference.

Step 4: Assemble the Roll Ups

On each pastry rectangle, layer provolone cheese and a spoonful of the steak mixture. Roll tightly, sealing the edges by pinching or pressing with a fork.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place roll ups on a lined baking tray. Brush with egg wash. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.


How to Serve and Store Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Serve these hot out of the oven with a side of mustard dip or a keto-friendly aioli. They’re delicious as finger food, party snacks, or plated as a main dish with a light salad.

To store, place cooled roll ups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crisp. They can also be frozen pre- or post-baking for make-ahead convenience.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the roll ups and store them uncooked in the fridge or freezer. Bake just before serving for best texture.

Can I use another type of meat?

Absolutely. Try thinly sliced chicken or turkey as an alternative to ribeye.

Is fathead dough hard to make?

Not at all. It typically involves mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, egg, and almond flour. It’s quick and easy to prepare.

What cheese can I substitute for provolone?

Mozzarella or Swiss cheese also work well, depending on your taste preference.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes. Air fry at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, checking until they are golden and crisp.
