Keto Dinner | Keto Philly Cheesesteak Pockets

This Philly Cheesesteak recipe is perfect for keto & low carb folks. By using fathead dough in place of bread, these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Pockets easily cut carbs, gluten, and grains. This dish is perfect for a crowd, as an appetizer, or as the main part of your meal when paired with vegetables or a salad. I include tips for making this dish, including a recipe for fathead dough if you need one.

There is no special “Philly” cheesesteak seasoning so a good Philly cheesesteak recipe comes down to meat and cheese. The main thing is good quality meat. In this recipe, I’m using shaved top sirloin. I get a package of it from Trader Joe’s, but packaged shaved steak is pretty common in most market meat sections.

I grew up just south of Seattle, Wa. My “stomping grounds” as you could call it. I spent most of my 20’s around downtown, Pike Place Market, DICK’s Drive-Inn and Pioneer Square. Late nights and LOTS of fun, I’ll leave it at that. Seattle was an amazing adventure for food. Fresh seafood, dive bars, Mom’ n Pop shops and vendor carts. Of course, the iconic Seattle Dogs and the food trucks! Ohh… the food trucks! My favorite was always a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. The GREAT DEBATE: With Wiz or Classic Provolone/Swiss (depending on who was grilling that evening- usually their choice).

My version of this loved cheese steak sandwich would be in comparison to a “Deluxe”. Provolone, seasoned steak strips fried in grease, creamy cheese sauce, sauteed onion, bell pepper and mushrooms with melted swiss on top. You are drooling now, aren’t you?! Grab a napkin, because now you can drool all over the pictures you are about to scroll through!

Ingredients

Keto Philly Cheesesteak Pockets:

• 1 tsp Ground Parsley
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 lb Shaved Steak I get mine from Trader Joes
•  does not taste the same to me
• 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
• 1 Fathead Dough
• 1 tbsp of grass-fed butter or other healthy fat
• 1/2 yellow onion sliced thinly
• 3 red baby bell peppers sliced thinly
• 1 jalapeno sliced thinly (optional)
• 1.5 tbsp Onion Salt Each brand of Onion Salt will vary in their level of saltiness. The one linked in the recipe has more of an onion flavor (along with parsley and garlic powder) with some sprinkles of salt. You should add .5 tbsp of onion salt at a time until you love the taste!
• 5 slices White American Cheese I like to get this sliced fresh from the deli because the packaged kind

Sriracha Mayo Sauce:

• 1 tbsp Sriracha
• 1 tbsp Real Hellmann’s Mayo
• 1/2 tbsp Lime Juice
• 2 tbsp No Sugar Added Ketchup

Instructions

1. First, Prepare the Fathead Dough and divide it into 8 balls
2. Second, Flatten each dough ball between two slices of parchment paper with your hand or use a rolling pin
3. Next, Chop the shaved meat so that it's thinly sliced but also in bite-sized pieces
4. Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat
5. Add the butter, onions, and peppers to the pan. Saute the vegetables in a tbsp of butter until they are soft and "fried"
6. Add the shaved beef to the pan along with spices.
7. Use tongs to incorporate and cook the meat until all slices are browned
8. Turn off the heat and add the American Cheese to the top of the meat and vegetable mix. Cover the skillet with its lid or with a wide plate. The steam will cause the cheese to melt
9. After the cheese has melted (~3 minutes), mix the meat so that the cheese is fully incorporated
10. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the 8 balls. Leave room to fold the dough and seal each pocket
11. Seal the edges by pressing them down with a fork or by rolling the edges (see pictures above)
12. Heat a frying pan to medium heat with an oil
13. Fry the pockets on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side. You'll notice the dough get brown
14. Whisk the ingredients for the sauce with a fork. Top the pockets with the sauce before eating.
