What type of roll is used for a Philly cheesesteak?

Traditionally, Philly cheesesteaks are served in hoagie rolls or Amoroso rolls — soft, white, and very high in carbs. In this keto version, we ditch the bread entirely and use cheese wraps, egg crepes, or low-carb tortillas to keep the classic flavor but stay low in carbs.

Is cheesesteak keto friendly?

The filling of a cheesesteak — beef, onions, peppers, and cheese — is naturally keto-friendly. The issue is always the bread. That’s why these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls are such a great option: all the flavor, none of the carbs.

What is the secret ingredient in Philly cheesesteak?

The “secret” lies in simplicity. A great sear on quality beef, slightly sweet onions, and a gooey cheese like provolone or Monterey Jack. Some chefs add Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder for depth — we use a keto-safe version to keep the taste spot-on.

How many carbs does a Philly cheesesteak have?

A classic cheesesteak sandwich can have 40–60g of carbs due to the bread. These keto rolls, however, have only 4–6g net carbs per roll , making them a perfect low-carb alternative.

What is needed for Philly cheesesteak?

You need beef (usually ribeye), onions, bell peppers, cheese, and a roll. In our keto version, we replace the roll with low-carb wraps or cheese bases and use fresh, clean ingredients for the rest.
