Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the Cheesesteak Roll Ups. Slice the ground beef into thin strips, ensuring even cooking. Next, chop your vibrant bell peppers and onions into small bites to enhance their sautéing. This prep takes about 5 minutes and sets you up for a smooth cooking process.

Step 2: Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped onions and bell peppers, sautéing them for about 5–7 minutes. Stir occasionally until the vegetables soften and onions become translucent, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma that complements the upcoming cheesesteak flavors.

Step 3: Cook Beef
Raise the skillet heat to medium-high and add the sliced ground beef to the cooked vegetables. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently. You’ll know the beef is done when it’s browned and no longer pink. This step brings together the savory flavors, creating a hearty filling for your cheesesteak roll ups.

Step 4: Melt Cheese
Reduce the skillet’s heat to low, then layer slices of provolone cheese over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for 2–3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt into a gooey texture. The melted cheese will bind the filling together, making it irresistible and ready for rolling.

Step 5: Assemble Roll-Ups
Take a keto tortilla and spoon a generous portion of the cheesy beef mixture onto the center. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are rolled into delightful Cheesesteak Roll Ups. Visualize each one neatly wrapped, promising a satisfying bite.

Step 6: Cook Roll-Ups
Return the roll-ups to the skillet seam-side down. Cook them on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides. This final step creates a crispy exterior, enhancing the overall texture and providing the perfect crunch with each bite of your cheesesteak roll ups.

Expert Tips for Cheesesteak Roll Ups

  • Pre-Season the Beef: Make sure to season your ground beef well before cooking; this enhances the overall flavor of the filling.

  • Avoid Soggy Tortillas: Make sure to cook the roll-ups seam-side down first, sealing in the filling and preventing sogginess.

  • Customize Your Fillings: Don’t hesitate to add your favorite veggies or spices; for a spicy kick, try including jalapeños in your cheesesteak roll ups.

  • Perfect Melting: Cover the skillet when melting the cheese to create steam, helping it melt evenly and bind the filling together.

  • Cook in Batches: If you’re making multiple roll-ups, consider cooking them in batches to maintain an even golden-brown crust on each one.

Make Ahead Options

These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are perfect for meal prep enthusiasts! You can sauté the vegetables and cook the ground beef mixture up to 24 hours in advance. Just allow the filling to cool, then refrigerate it in an airtight container. Additionally, you can slice the provolone cheese ahead of time for quick assembly. When you’re ready to enjoy your roll-ups, simply reheat the filling in a skillet until warmed through, assemble the roll-ups in the tortillas, and crisp them up in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. This way, you’ll have a delicious, hassle-free meal ready in no time, letting you savor every bite without spending hours in the kitchen!

Cheesesteak Roll Ups Recipe FAQs

What should I look for when selecting ground beef?
When choosing ground beef, aim for a mix with around 80% lean meat and 20% fat for the best flavor and moisture. Fresh ground beef should have a bright red color with no dark spots or browning, which can indicate it’s starting to spoil. You can also substitute with ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option if desired.

How should I store leftover cheesesteak roll ups?
Leftover cheesesteak roll ups should be placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. This will help retain their freshness and flavor. For best results when reheating, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, ensuring they come out warm and delicious.

Can I freeze cheesesteak roll ups?
Absolutely! To freeze cheesesteak roll ups, wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. This prevents freezer burn and helps maintain flavor. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

What if my cheesesteak roll ups turn out soggy?
If your roll ups are soggy, it’s usually due to overcooking the vegetables or not sealing them tightly. Start by ensuring that the veggies are sautéed just until they’re softened, avoiding excess moisture. Additionally, roll the tortillas tightly to keep the filling in place. Cooking seam-side down first also helps create a nice seal, making them crispy instead of soggy.

Are there any dietary considerations for this recipe?
Yes! If you’re catering to dietary restrictions, you can use gluten-free tortillas or substitute provolone cheese with lactose-free cheese for a dairy-free option. It’s also a great recipe for those following a keto lifestyle, as the low-carb tortillas and high protein content keep it in line with keto guidelines. Just ensure that all ingredients are compliant with your dietary needs.

How long do I need to reheat frozen cheesesteak roll ups?
When reheating from frozen, preheat your oven to 350°F and place the roll ups on a baking tray. Cover them with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Bake for about 20-30 minutes until heated through. This method ensures they come out crispy and delicious, just like when they were first made!
