Ingredients
For the Keto Rolls:
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
For the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:
- 1 pound thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin work well)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces sliced provolone cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Prepare the Keto Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Mix the Dough: Add the egg, almond flour, baking powder, and garlic powder (if using) to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a dough forms. It should be pliable but not too sticky.
- Shape the Rolls: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log shape, about 6 inches long. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the Rolls: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Steak: While the rolls are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and green bell pepper to the skillet with the steak. Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Cheesesteaks: Once the rolls are baked, carefully slice them open lengthwise. Divide the steak and vegetable mixture evenly among the rolls.
- Add the Cheese: Top each roll with sliced provolone cheese.
- Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled cheesesteaks under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve Immediately: Serve your Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls immediately and enjoy!
