Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

Description

Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are a fun twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Thinly sliced beef, sautéed onions and peppers, and gooey melted cheese are rolled up in tortillas (or crescent rolls) and baked until golden and crispy. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even a quick dinner, these roll ups deliver all the savory, cheesy flavors of a cheesesteak in a bite-sized, handheld form.

Ingredients for Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups

• 1 lb thinly sliced beef steak (ribeye or sirloin works best)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese (or a mix)

• 6 large flour tortillas (or crescent roll dough sheets)

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

1. Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté Veggies: In the same pan, add onions, peppers, and garlic. Cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in Worcestershire sauce.

3. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay out tortillas. Evenly divide beef, veggies, and cheese among them. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. Brush & Bake: Brush tops with melted butter. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

5. Serve: Slice in half or into bite-size pieces. Serve hot with a dipping sauce (cheese sauce, ranch, or chipotle mayo).

Notes

• Ribeye is the most authentic beef choice for cheesesteak flavor, but sirloin or deli-sliced roast beef also work.

• Provolone is the traditional cheese, but mozzarella or cheddar blends add extra melty goodness.

• Tortillas make for soft roll ups, while crescent rolls give a more pastry-like bite.

Tips

• For extra crunch, lightly toast tortillas before rolling.

• Make ahead: Assemble roll ups, refrigerate, and bake when ready to serve.

• Freeze-friendly: Bake first, then freeze. Reheat in the oven until warm.

• Add mushrooms for a heartier filling.

Servings

Makes 6 roll ups (about 12 snack portions if cut in half).
