Servings & Timing:

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes

  • Cook Time: 15 minutes

  • Total Time: 30 minutes

  • Yield: 6 egg rolls

Dietary Badges:

  • 🥓 Keto / Low-Carb

  • 🌾 Gluten-Free (if using low-carb tortillas or wraps)

  • 🥩 High-Protein

Ingredients (Checklist Style):

  • Thinly sliced beef (ribeye, sirloin, or shaved steak)

  • Olive oil or butter

  • Onion, thinly sliced

  • Green bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • Mushrooms (optional)

  • Provolone or mozzarella cheese slices/shreds

  • Low-carb tortillas or cheese wraps (for “egg roll” wrapper)

  • Salt & black pepper

  • Garlic powder (optional)

  • Oil for frying OR air fryer

Instructions (Concise & Numbered):

  1. Heat oil in a skillet and cook onions, peppers, and mushrooms until softened. Remove and set aside.

  2. In same skillet, cook beef until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Add vegetables back in, stir, and remove from heat.

  4. Lay out a low-carb tortilla or cheese wrap. Add steak mixture and top with cheese.

  5. Roll tightly like an egg roll (folding edges in first).

  6. Fry in hot oil until golden, or air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.

  7. Cool slightly before serving — cheese will be hot and melty.

Additional Notes:

  • Use provolone for authentic Philly flavor, mozzarella for extra stretch.

  • Cheese wraps (like Folios) make this recipe 100% keto and gluten-free.

  • Frying gives a crunchier finish; air fryer keeps it lighter.

Cooking

Ingredient Details & Substitutions

  • Beef: Ribeye is classic, but shaved sirloin works too.

  • Vegetables: Onions and peppers are traditional, but mushrooms add depth.

  • Cheese: Provolone is authentic; mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack are tasty variations.

  • Wraps: Use low-carb tortillas for a traditional feel or all-cheese wraps for strict keto.

  • Oil: Avocado oil or coconut oil are great for frying at high heat.

Variations & Serving Suggestions

  • Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or sprinkle with chili flakes.

  • Cheeseburger Twist: Swap steak for ground beef + cheddar.

  • Serving Ideas:

    • Serve as a party appetizer or alongside a keto salad.

Personal Story (Optional)

I came up with this recipe on a football Sunday when I wanted the comfort of Philly cheesesteak sandwiches without the carbs. Wrapping the filling in cheese wraps gave me the crunch I craved — and now they’re my go-to snack whenever I want a keto-friendly indulgence.
