Ready for a satisfying and easy keto recipe? Try these Philly Cheesesteak Keto Lettuce Wraps! You don’t need a carb-loaded hoagie roll to enjoy the flavors of Philly Cheesesteak.
Bread is great and all, but I’ve come to realize that it’s really not the star of the show for so many of the foods I love. I thought I needed the bread for the ideal flavor, but it’s actually just the carb-filled vehicle on which my favorite flavors arrive. Like pizza — for most of my life I thought I loved the crust the most, but after making recipes like keto pizza casserole, I’ve realized it’s actually the cheese, meat, and sauce that I adore.
Whether you feel the same way or you’re not quite there yet, I invite you to try these delicious Philly Cheesesteak-inspired keto lettuce wraps! Instead of 50+ grams of carbs (undoubtedly leaving to a carb coma), these lettuce wraps contain so much of that Philly cheesesteak flavor with only 3g net carbs. Your waistline will thank you, and I think your tastebuds will be pretty darn happy too.
Why You’ll Love this Keto Lettuce Wraps Philly Cheesesteak Recipe

Keto Lettuce Wraps {Philly Cheesesteak}
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. ribeye or flank steak cut into thin strips
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- lettuce leaves for wraps see notes
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add the beef, searing it on all sides and cooking it for several minutes until your desired level of doneness has been reached.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce to the beef plus salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
- Remove the beef from the skillet. Place it on a plate and cover it to keep it warm.
- To the skillet, add the butter, onion, and peppers and sauté until they begin to soften.
- Place the meat back into the skillet, turn the heat down to low, and stir to combine.
- Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. (If you immediately add the mixture to the lettuce leaves, the leaves will wilt.)
- Once sufficiently cooled, add a serving of the mixture to lettuce leaf wraps and top each wrap with 2 tbsp shredded provolone cheese before serving.
Notes
- The best lettuce leaves for wraps are butter/bibb lettuce, romaine lettuce, or iceberg lettuce.
- For a slightly different cheesesteak experience, you can use lean ground beef instead of steak, or ground beef of any leanness drained of excess fat.

These were super delicious!
I made these earlier this week for a small get-together. It was a hit! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I served these Keto Lettuce wraps at my Superbowl party and they were a hit. It never occurred to me to use lettuce instead of hoagie rolls. My buddies give this recipe a thumbs up and they are not even on Keto diets. Love the Keto friendly Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Thanks.
