What is Philly Cheese Steak?

Traditionally a Philly Cheese Steak is a sandwich that is made from thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese. It is usually served in a hoagie roll. Now it is a popular keto low net carb meal when you serve it by itself with no hoagie.

My kids usually eat on a hoagie or on a bed of rice. I like it by itself especially when I am trying to eat low carb.

Make it into a Keto Philly Cheese Steak bowl!

Easy keto friendly, low carb recipes are the best. We really enjoy skillet recipes because there is less to clean up! My favorite way to eat this Philly Cheese Steak is make into a bowl. I can keep it low carb and still enjoy my meal.

The bell peppers and onion come together with the cheese for such an amazing meal. The meat is so tender and everyone will be satisfied after this filling meal.

We like to serve it with a simple green salad but you can easily just eat this all by itself!

Let’s get started making Low carb philly cheesesteak!

Ingredients you need

• Flank Steak
• Minced Garlic – You can also use garlic powder.
• Green Bell Pepper
• Butter
• Red Bell Pepper
• Onion
• Provolone Cheese
• Italian Seasoning
• Salt and Pepper

How to make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Casserole:

• In a hot cast iron skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter or olive oil and add peppers, onion, and minced garlic.
• Saute until the onions and peppers are soft on medium high heat.  Remove the veggies from the cast iron skillet and set aside.

• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the cast iron skillet and add the beef. (Make sure to use a large skillet so you have plenty of room). You can also use a tablespoon oil if desired.
• Add in the Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.
• Allow to sear on each side, then cover and cook on medium-low until the steak is cooked all the way through.

• Once the steak is done, add the peppers and onion mixture back to the cast iron skillet. Cook on low for 2 minutes.
• Place provolone cheese slices on top of the steak and veggie mixture to cover while meat is in the skillet or a baking dish.

• Place a lid on top and allow the cheese to melt (1-2 minutes).
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve with a side salad and dinner is done.

Can I make Philly Cheesesteak ahead of time?

Philly cheesesteak is the perfect meal to make ahead of time and for meal planning. I like to make and freeze for an easy weeknight meal. I prepare the meal and pepper mixture and let it cool to room temperature.

Then I place in a air tight container and place in the refrigerator. Once you are ready to serve, place back in the skillet and heat then top with your cheese and melt as indicated in the recipe.

It is great in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days. Makes a great lunch the next day for my husband. I just put in an individual container and he can heat up in the microwave.

Variation Ideas:

• Change the Protein – If you prefer, you can change the protein by using ground beef or even sliced chicken. Ground turkey works great too.
• Use different cheeses – American cheese, swiss cheese and Cheez Whiz are great alternatives to Provolone Cheese. Make sure you shred your own cheese, pre-shredded cheese as added ingredients.
• Make a Sandwich – If you want to stick with a low carb meal, you can serve it on a keto bread or lettuce wraps if you want a sandwich
• Add in Vegetables – My favorite addition to this meal is adding in mushrooms.
• Philly Cheesesteak Casserole Recipe – I like to prepare my meat and peppers as indicated in the skillet. You can then place in a casserole dish for melt the cheese in the oven. This is a great low carb philly cheesesteak casserole meal.
• Add in Cream Cheese – If you want a creamier texture to your Philly Cheesesteak add in a block of cream cheese.

Tips for the best Philly Cheesesteak:

• Select the best Steak – You want to select meat that has reasonable amount of fat on it. You also want it thinly sliced. I always check with my butcher at the meat market for assistance.
• Optional Peppers – We used green and red bell peppers but you can also use yellow or orange. I usually get the ones with the best price.
• Carb Loving Family – When I prepare a meal, I usually try and give my carb loving family options to choose from. Even though I am eating this with a some extra vegetables, I will make sure I have some hoagies or rice for my family.
