If you’re following a low-carb or keto lifestyle and still crave bold, satisfying flavors, this Easy Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups Recipe is one you’re going to want on repeat. It’s everything you love about a classic cheesesteak—melty cheese, tender steak, sautéed peppers and onions—wrapped into a delicious, portable roll that skips the bread but keeps all the flavor. These roll ups are hearty, cheesy, and wrapped in turkey bacon, giving them the perfect balance of protein and fat without going overboard on carbs. They’re great for meal prep, dinner parties, or an easy weeknight dinner that doesn’t require hours in the kitchen. I started making these when I was looking for more low-carb dinners that didn’t feel like “diet food.” Let’s be honest—sometimes lettuce wraps just don’t cut it when you’re really hungry. These, on the other hand, feel indulgent while still staying within your macros. And they’re so customizable—you can swap in different cheeses, add jalapeños for heat, or even serve them with a side of your favorite keto-friendly sauce. Let’s get started with the ingredients and the first few steps.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:

• 1 lb thinly sliced beef steak (ribeye or sirloin work great)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 8 slices provolone cheese
• 8 slices turkey bacon

This simple ingredient list brings together bold flavor and creamy texture, while keeping things low in carbs and high in satisfaction. Using provolone as the base makes the roll ups extra cheesy and keeps everything together as they bake. STEP 1: PREHEAT THE OVEN AND PREP YOUR PAN Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps the roll ups cook evenly and makes cleanup much easier. No sticking, no scrubbing—just perfectly crispy, cheesy bites ready in minutes. STEP 2: SAUTÉ THE VEGGIES Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms, and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want them to soften and caramelize slightly for the best flavor. The combination of onions and peppers gives you that classic cheesesteak taste, while the mushrooms add a bit of earthiness and bulk—great for keeping things filling without extra carbs.

  STEP 3: COOK THE BEEF Once the veggies are soft and lightly golden, add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper, then cook for just a few minutes until the beef is browned. You don’t want to overcook it—it will finish baking in the oven. Once everything is cooked, remove the pan from heat and set it aside while you prepare the cheese and filling.

ASSEMBLE, ROLL, AND BAKE YOUR EASY KETO PHILLY CHEESESTEAK ROLL UPS

With your steak and veggies cooked to perfection, now it’s time to turn all that savory goodness into cheesy, low-carb roll ups that are packed with flavor. This part is quick and fun—especially once you see how neatly everything rolls together. And the best part? You’ll only need a few more minutes before these hit the oven and fill your kitchen with the smell of melted cheese and sizzling turkey bacon. Let’s bring it all together step by step. STEP 4: LAY OUT THE PROVOLONE CHEESE AND SPREAD THE CREAM CHEESE On a clean work surface, lay out the 8 slices of provolone cheese. These slices will form the outer layer of your roll ups and help hold everything together once baked. Next, take your softened cream cheese and spread a thin layer onto each slice of provolone. This adds a creamy element that melts beautifully and brings all the fillings together. If your cream cheese is still cold, a quick 10 seconds in the microwave helps soften it just enough to spread easily.

  STEP 5: ADD THE FILLING AND ROLL TIGHTLY Spoon an even amount of the steak and veggie mixture onto each cheese slice, right on top of the cream cheese layer. You’ll want to keep the filling centered so it’s easy to roll without things spilling out. Starting from one edge, roll each slice up tightly, like you’re rolling a pinwheel. The cream cheese helps everything stay in place, and the provolone should be flexible enough to hold the filling together without cracking.

  STEP 6: WRAP WITH TURKEY BACON Once all your roll ups are formed, take a slice of turkey bacon and wrap it around each roll. If the bacon slices are thick, you might need to stretch them gently to cover the full roll. Tuck the ends underneath or secure with a toothpick if needed to hold everything in place while baking. The turkey bacon not only adds protein and flavor—it crisps up in the oven and creates the perfect savory finish on each roll.

  STEP 7: BAKE UNTIL MELTED AND CRISPY Place all the wrapped roll ups on your parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they’re spaced slightly apart so they cook evenly. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the turkey bacon is crispy on the outside. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes—every oven is different, and you want the bacon just crisp without overcooking the cheese. When they’re done, remove the tray from the oven and let the roll ups cool for a few minutes before serving. This gives the cheese time to set slightly, making them easier to pick up and enjoy without falling apart. STEP 8: LET THE ROLL UPS COOL SLIGHTLY BEFORE SERVING After baking, remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet. This short rest helps the cheese set and makes the roll ups easier to handle without falling apart. They’ll still be warm, melty, and delicious—just a little easier to plate and enjoy.

  STEP 9: SERVE AND ENJOY Transfer the roll ups to a serving platter or individual plates and enjoy them warm. These are great on their own or served with a side salad, low-carb dipping sauce, or steamed veggies. They’re perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a party appetizer that’s big on flavor and totally keto-friendly.

SERVING IDEAS AND KETO-FRIENDLY SIDES:

These roll ups are filling on their own, but if you want to serve them with something extra, here are a few low-carb ideas:

• A simple side salad with olive oil and vinegar
• Roasted or sautéed zucchini, cauliflower, or asparagus
• A scoop of cauliflower mash
• Keto dipping sauces like ranch, chipotle mayo, or garlic aioli

MAKE-AHEAD TIPS:

These roll ups are perfect for meal prep. You can make them ahead, refrigerate, and reheat in the oven or air fryer. They’re also freezer-friendly—just wrap them individually in foil or freezer paper, then reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven until warmed through.

 

FAQS & FINAL THOUGHTS ON EASY KETO PHILLY CHEESESTEAK ROLL UPS RECIPE:

Now that your roll ups are hot out of the oven—cheesy, meaty, and perfectly wrapped in crispy turkey bacon—it’s time to dig in and enjoy. But before you do, let’s go over some common questions to help make this recipe even more flexible for your lifestyle. Whether you’re new to keto, meal prepping for the week, or just want a fun twist on a classic cheesesteak, these tips will help you customize and enjoy this dish over and over again. 1. CAN I USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MEAT? Yes. Ribeye and sirloin are traditional for cheesesteaks, but thin-sliced roast beef or even ground beef can work in a pinch. Just be sure to drain any extra grease before assembling the roll ups. 2. IS THERE A DAIRY-FREE OPTION? While this dish is cheese-forward, you can use dairy-free cream cheese and dairy-free sliced cheese alternatives. Just check the labels to ensure they melt well and are low in carbs if you’re keeping it keto. 3. WHAT IF I DON’T EAT BACON? You can skip the turkey bacon entirely and simply roll the filling inside the provolone slices. They’ll still hold together nicely after baking, especially if you let them cool slightly before serving. Alternatively, try using thin slices of deli turkey as a wrap. 4. HOW SHOULD I STORE LEFTOVERS? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to maintain the crispness. Microwave reheating works too, but the bacon won’t be as crispy. 5. CAN I FREEZE THESE ROLL UPS? Yes. Let them cool completely, then wrap each roll individually in parchment paper or foil and place in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven until heated through. 6. CAN I MAKE THESE AHEAD OF TIME? Definitely. You can fully prepare the roll ups, store them uncooked in the fridge for up to 24 hours, and then bake when ready to serve. Great for party prep or easy weeknight meals. 7. WHAT OTHER CHEESE CAN I USE INSTEAD OF PROVOLONE? Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Swiss cheese work well. Just choose a cheese that melts smoothly and can hold its shape when wrapped.
