The Keto Philly Cheesesteak Roll is so delicious and cheesy. We prepare it with slices of steak with the filling of cheese, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. This Philly cheesesteak recipe is easily modified into the keto version. Philly cheesesteak was invented in Philadelphia in 1930 and is made with thinly sliced beef and cheese placed in a hot dog and it is high in carbs. So I modified this recipe in the keto version and made it a low-carb and protein-rich cheesesteak roll. This Keto Philly Cheesesteak Rolls contain 5.9g of carbs, 1.1g of fiber, 4.4g of net carbs, and 47.3g of proteins in it. It is free from gluten, and you can consume it in lunch, or dinner.
