How To Make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Casserole
This casserole comes together quickly, making it an excellent choice for busy weekdays.
The recipe doubles simply, which also makes it a fantastic option when you want to impress your guests. It’s a true crowd-pleaser!
You’ll start by seasoning the shaved steak with salt and pepper, and then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Next, heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic, sliced mushrooms, sliced onions, and peppers to the heated olive oil, and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Then, place the cooked vegetables into a small bowl and set it aside.

To cook the shaved steak, heat the reserved oil and one tablespoon of butter in the same large skillet in which you cooked the vegetables.
Cook over medium-high heat until the steak is lightly browned, stirring a few times.
Next, add the cooked vegetables back into the skillet along with the cooked steak and combine well.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and then proceed to make the cheese sauce.
Keto Provolone Cheese Sauce
Add the remaining butter to make the cheesy provolone sauce and melt it in a small saucepan.
To the saucepan, add the beef broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Next, you’ll reduce the heat to medium and add the cream cheese to the broth.
Cook, whisking often, until the cream cheese is melted and fully incorporated into the broth.
Reduce the heat to low and add half the shredded provolone cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Once the sauce is ready, you’ll add the cheese sauce to the steak mixture and stir to combine.
Next, transfer the steak mixture into a casserole dish and top with the remaining shredded provolone cheese.
Then, you’ll bake the casserole for about 30 minutes until it is bubbly and heated through.
I then recommend broiling on high for 3-5 minutes until the casserole is lightly golden brown. Be sure to serve it hot for the best flavor.
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
