Step-by-Step Directions
Now that we have our delicious ingredients ready, let’s jump into the cooking process.
Start by laying out your ingredients: slice the beef into thin strips and chop the bell peppers and onion.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and peppers, sautéing them until they soften, which should take about 5-7 minutes, filling your kitchen with that inviting aroma.
Once soft, increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced beef to the skillet. Season it lightly with salt and pepper, cooking until browned – around 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat back to low and place the provolone slices over the beef mixture, allowing them to melt completely. The sight of the cheese melting into the beef is truly a feast for the eyes.
Now it’s time to assemble! Spoon the beef and cheese mixture onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly.
In the same skillet, return the roll-ups seam-side down, cooking until they’re golden brown on all sides, approximately 3-4 minutes total. You’ll love the crispy texture that complements the soft interior.

Serving Ideas You’ll Love
These roll-ups can be enjoyed in many creative ways. I love to serve them with a fresh side salad or some crispy roasted veggies for a balanced meal.

Keeping It Fresh
To enjoy your Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups later, it’s essential to store them correctly.
Refrigeration: Let the roll-ups cool completely before wrapping them in plastic wrap or placing them in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
Freezing: If you want to make them ahead of time, they freeze beautifully! Just wrap them tightly and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheating: When you’re ready to enjoy them, thaw overnight in the fridge if you’ve frozen them. Simply heat in a skillet over low-medium heat until warmed through, or pop them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated thoroughly.
Chef Betty’s Secrets
Slicing the Beef: For easier slicing, freeze the beef for about 30 minutes before cutting; it will firm up but not completely freeze, making it easier to slice thinly.
Cheese Alternatives: If provolone isn’t your favorite, feel free to use other cheese varieties! Mozzarella or even a sharp cheddar can add unique flavors.
Veggie Variations: Experiment by adding mushrooms, zucchini, or even jalapeños for an extra kick of flavor.
Tortilla Choices: While low-carb tortillas are great for sticking to keto, whole wheat or gluten-free options can also work depending on your diet needs.
Meal Prep Tip: Making a larger batch? These roll-ups hold up well in meal prep containers, making weekday lunches quick and easy to grab on the go.
Creative Twists to Try
Spicy Version: Add some sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes during the cooking process for a spicy kick.
Italian Style: Switch out the provolone for some mozzarella and add some marinara sauce for a tasty Italian twist!
Breakfast Options: Use scrambled eggs, spinach, and cheese for a delicious breakfast variation that’s equally satisfying.
