How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Roll-Ups
1. Cook the Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned.
Drain excess grease if needed.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
Add sliced onion and bell pepper directly to the skillet with the beef.
Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened but still slightly crisp.
3. Season the Filling
Stir in Worcestershire sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Let cook for 1 minute so the flavors meld.
4. Add the Cream Cheese
Lower heat to medium-low.
Add the cream cheese and stir continuously until completely melted and evenly combined with the beef and vegetables. The mixture should look creamy and rich.
5. Melt the Monterey Jack
Add shredded Monterey Jack cheese to the skillet.
Stir until fully melted and gooey, coating the entire mixture. Remove from heat.
6. Assemble the Roll-Ups
Spoon the cheesesteak mixture onto:
• Low-carb tortillas
or
• Lettuce leaves for a lighter, keto option
Roll tightly.
Slice in half or into bite-sized pieces if desired.
7. Serve & Enjoy
Serve immediately while hot and cheesy.
These are fantastic on their own or paired with a simple low-carb side.

Tips for Best Results
• Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting
• Don’t overcook peppers—they should stay slightly crisp
• Lower heat before adding cream cheese to prevent separation
• Let filling rest 1–2 minutes before rolling to avoid tearing wraps

Steak-Style Upgrade
Replace ground beef with thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye.
