    • Recipe Makes 12 Servings

    🥪 Ingredients for this keto Philly cheesesteak sliders recipe

    Here is a simple ingredient list to make these delicious keto sliders:

    • 1 batch of Keto Dinner Rolls
    • 1 pound shaved ribeye
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • ½ pound deli-sliced provolone cheese
    • ½ large white onion thinly sliced
    • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
    • Salt to taste

    Ingredient substitutions

    • Butter: Use avocado oil for a dairy-free option rich in healthy fats.
    • Ribeye: Swap it with thinly sliced chicken breast for a poultry twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak. Chicken breast is lean, protein-packed, and works perfectly within the keto guidelines.
    • Provolone cheese: Substitute with mozzarella cheese for a melty and gooey cheese texture. Mozzarella adds a creamy texture and pairs well with the beef, peppers, and onions. You can also use other cheese like Swiss or Cheddar cheese.
    • Regular soy sauce: Use tamari sauce as a gluten-free substitute.
    • White onion: If you can't find white onions, use yellow ones.

    Additional ingredients

    Enhance your slider experience by incorporating these optional keto-friendly ingredients of your choice:

    • Garlic powder: Add a sprinkle of garlic powder to enhance the flavor profile of the beef mixture. Garlic powder adds a delightful aromatic touch and complements the savory notes of the dish.
    • Dried oregano: Add dried oregano for a zesty, earthy flavor that pairs well with the slider recipe.
    • Crushed red pepper flakes: For those who enjoy a little heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes over the sliders.
    • Sliced mushrooms: If you're a mushroom lover, sauté some thinly sliced mushrooms with peppers and onions. Mushrooms add a meaty texture and a boost of nutrients.
    • Fresh parsley: Finish off the sliders with a garnish of fresh parsley. It adds a pop of color and a herbaceous note.

    Cooking tools required

    To make this Keto Philly Cheesesteak Sliders recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

    • Large 10.5" cast-iron skillet
    • Cast-iron skillet
    • Knife
    • Cutting board
    • Foil

    Tools substitute options

    • Cast-iron skillet: A non-stick skillet can be used instead of a cast-iron skillet. Just make sure it's large enough to accommodate the ingredients.
    • Bread knife: A sharp chef's knife can be used for slicing dinner rolls.

    How to make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Sliders: step-by-step guide

    Cooking methods

    • Sautéing
    • Baking

    Preparation steps

    1. Gather all the ingredients and measure them.
    2. Ensure all the necessary cooking tools and equipment are clean and readily available.
    3. Thinly slice the bell pepper and half of a large white onion.
    4. Shave the ribeye into thin slices and the deli provolone cheese if needed.

    Cooking instructions

    For the dinner rolls

    1. Follow our Keto Dinner Rolls recipe to prepare a batch of keto buns. But instead of making 12 larger rolls, make 24.
    2. Once the dinner rolls are cooled down, gently remove the rolls from the skillet into one large piece. Carefully slice the rolls horizontally, creating a top and bottom layer. Set the bottom layer aside.

    For sliders

    1. Preheat a large 10.5″ cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter to the hot skillet, followed by the shaved ribeye. Brown the steak for about 3-4 minutes.
    2. Toss the sliced onions and bell peppers into the skillet with the steak. Continue cooking for approximately 5 minutes until the peppers and onions become tender.
    3. Turn off the heat. Place the bottom layer of the sliced dinner rolls in a baking dish and top it with the cooked meat mixture. Then, add a layer of provolone cheese.
    4. Finally, place the top layer of the sliced rolls over the provolone to complete the sliders.
    5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the assembled sliders to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is gooey.
    6. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

    Note: The beef mixture is the same as our Keto Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers. It's perfectly buttery!

    Keto Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

    Chef's pro tip

    When preparing these sliders, it's important to avoid overcooking the beef. The goal is to achieve a tender and juicy texture rather than toughness. To achieve this, brown the shaved ribeye for approximately 3-4 minutes until it develops a nice brown color outside. It's okay if it's slightly undercooked, as it will continue cooking in the oven.

    Following this technique will give you perfectly tender and flavorful sliders. Additionally, if you notice the tops of the rolls browning too quickly during baking, simply cover them with foil to prevent over-browning. Trust your timing and savor the irresistible outcome!

    What to serve with Keto Philly Cheesesteak Sliders?

    Do you know the best thing about keto sliders? You can eat them at any time of the day and pair them with your favorite food options. For example:

    • Crispy Brussels sprouts: Roasted Brussels sprouts with olive oil, black pepper, and salt are a perfect serving option. They provide a delightful crunch and pair well with the sliders.
    • Keto fries: A slider can never go wrong with some fries on the side! You can savor it with our famous Keto Halloumi Fries or Celeriac Fries that are low-carb and goes well with subs.
    • Zucchini fries: Bake or air-fry zucchini until crispy for a satisfying alternative to traditional fries.
    • Cucumber avocado salad: Enjoy some cucumber avocado salad with lemon juice and olive oil for a refreshing touch.

    How to make it healthier?

    • Add more fiber: Increase vegetable content in the sliders to enhance their nutritional value. Add sliced mushrooms, spinach, or thinly sliced zucchini to the beef mixture.
    • Replace rolls with lettuce: If you prefer a bread-free option, you can bake the beef mixture and cheese separately and wrap it with lettuce leaves to create delicious keto-friendly cheesesteak wraps.

    Time-saving tips

    • Use pre-sliced ingredients for a quick and easy Philly cheesesteak sliders recipe.
    • If you have leftover cooked ribeye steak from a previous meal, you can use that instead of cooking the meat from scratch. Warm it up in the skillet with the peppers and onions, then assemble the sliders.

    What can I prepare ahead of time?

    • Keto dinner rolls: Prepare the bread rolls earlier, allowing them to cool completely. This way, you can meal prep things ahead of time.
    • Pre-slice the vegetables: Thinly slice the bell peppers and onions ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This saves time during cooking, as the vegetables will be ready to sauté.
    • Pre-shave the ribeye: If possible, shave it and store it in the fridge until you're ready to cook. This reduces the prep time when it comes to cooking the beef.

    Storage and reheating instructions

    Storage tips

    • Refrigerator: Place the leftovers in an airtight container and put them in the fridge. Consume them within 2-3 days to ensure optimal taste.
    • Freezer: Cover the sliders separately with plastic wrap. Store them in a freezer-safe bag for 2 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

    Reheating tips

    • Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sliders on a baking sheet and cover with foil to prevent excessive drying. Reheat for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
    • Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add little oil or butter. Place the sliders in the skillet and cook for a few minutes on each side until warmed.
    • Microwave: If you prefer a quick reheating option, use the microwave. Place the sliders on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high in 30-second intervals until heated thoroughly.

    Note: Keep an eye on the sliders to prevent overheating. The texture might vary slightly, but it will still be delicious.

    Frequently asked questions

    You can replace them with other low-carb vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.

    Certainly! While shaved ribeye is the traditional choice, you can explore other flavorful options. Thinly sliced flank steak, skirt steak, or ground beef are tasty alternatives. Just adjust the cooking time according to the meat you choose.

    Absolutely! While cheese adds a deliciously gooey element, you can remove it if you prefer a dairy-free version. The beef, peppers, and onions will still create a flavorful combination.

    Yes! If you have a preferred low-carb bread or roll recipe, you can use it as a base for the sliders. Adapt the recipe to your desired bread alternative: almond flour bread or coconut flour rolls.

    Definitely! Experiment with oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, or even Cayenne pepper for an extra kick. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.

    For a vegetarian twist, you can substitute the shaved ribeye with thinly sliced seitan or tempeh for a protein-packed alternative. Sauté them with the peppers and onions, and assemble the sliders as usual. Veggie lovers can also try using portobello mushrooms as a meaty substitute for a flavorful vegetarian option.
