Ingredients You’ll Need

Serves 4–6

 

For the Roll-Ups:

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin, sliced thin)
  • 1 medium onion , thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper , thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or butter, divided)
  • Salt and pepper , to taste
  • 4–6 keto-friendly tortillas (or egg wraps like Crepini or Cloud Bread)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or shredded mozzarella for melting)
 

Optional Toppings:

  • Hot sauce or sriracha
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Diced tomatoes
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Caramelize the Onions and Peppers

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell pepper (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes , or until softened and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
 

Step 2: Cook the Beef

  1. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3–5 minutes , breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through.
  2. Stir the caramelized onions and peppers back into the skillet with the beef and mix well.
 

Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups

  1. Lay out a keto tortilla or egg wrap on a flat surface. Place a slice of provolone cheese (or shredded mozzarella) in the center, followed by a generous portion of the beef mixture.
  2. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling

Step 4: Cook the Roll-Ups

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  2. Place the assembled roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side , or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to ensure even browning on all sides.
 

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Slice the roll-ups in half diagonally for easier serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, hot sauce, or diced tomatoes if desired.
 

Why This Recipe Works

  • Caramelized Flavor Base : The onions and peppers add natural sweetness and depth to balance the savory beef.
  • Cheese Melty Goodness : Provolone or mozzarella creates a gooey, cheesy center that ties everything together.
  • Keto-Friendly Wraps : Using low-carb tortillas or egg wraps keeps the dish light while still delivering the satisfying crunch of a traditional roll-up.
 

Variations to Try

  • Add Mushrooms : Sauté sliced mushrooms with the onions for an earthy twist.
  • Spice It Up : Add diced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Gluten-Free Option : Naturally gluten-free—just use certified GF wraps if needed.
  • Veggie Version : Substitute the beef with grilled portobello mushrooms or tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Breakfast Twist : Serve with a fried egg on top for a hearty keto breakfast.
 

Tips for Success

  • Thinly Slice the Beef : Ask your butcher to slice the beef thinly, or freeze the meat for 30 minutes before slicing for easier handling.
  • Don’t Overfill : Avoid overloading the tortillas to ensure they roll up neatly.
  • Storage : Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
 

Serving Suggestions

  • Romantic Touch : Plate with fresh herbs or a drizzle of hot sauce for elegance.
  • Brunch Staple : Pair with a side of keto-friendly avocado salad or roasted veggies.
  • Party Platter : Serve alongside other low-carb appetizers like stuffed mushrooms or zucchini fries for variety.
