Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Large skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp xanthan gum optional
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper any color
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: Keto-friendly ketchup, mayo, or mustard

Instructions
 

  • Melt the Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the beaten eggs to the melted cheese mixture and stir well to combine.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum (if using).
  • Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Let it Rest: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Slice and Dice: If your steak isn't already thinly sliced, do that now. Slice the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using) into thin strips.
  • Sauté the Veggies: Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add the mushrooms (if using) and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until they've released their moisture and browned slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  • Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add the sliced steak. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until cooked through but still tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine and Heat: Add the sautéed vegetables back to the skillet with the steak. Stir to combine and heat through.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Roll Out the Dough: On a piece of parchment paper, using a rolling pin, roll the fathead dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Add the Filling: Spread the Philly Cheesesteak filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Cheese, Please! Top the filling with the provolone cheese slices (or your cheese of choice).
  • Roll it Up: Carefully roll the dough up tightly, starting from one long edge. Try to keep the filling inside as you roll.
  • Slice and Bake: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8-10 equal pieces. Place the slices, cut-side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Don't overmix the dough. Use a pizza cutter for slicing the rolls evenly. Get creative with fillings by adding jalapenos or banana peppers. Prepare the filling ahead of time. Add red pepper flakes for extra heat. Brush with melted butter for a crispier roll. For a spicy version, add jalapenos or hot sauce. Try pizza-inspired version with marinara and mozzarella. Chicken or portobello mushrooms can substitute the steak. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
