This Keto Philly Cheesesteak Style Beef Skillet is a Delicious mix between Sloppy Joe’s and Philly Cheesesteak.

The recipe uses Ground beef instead of more expensive Steak which is typically used in Philly Cheesesteak recipes. It can be served on it’s own or over a bed of Zucchini Noodles or Low Carb Bread.

How to Make a Keto Philly Cheesesteak Style Beef Skillet

To make this Tasty Philly Cheese Style Beef Skillet you start by seasoning the beef with the salt and pepper, then brown it in the skillet over medium heat.

Once the beef is fully cooked, remove from the pan and set aside until later. Slice up the onion and green pepper. Add 1 tbsp of the butter to the skillet with the beef drippings. Fry the onion and peppers until browned. (about 4 minutes) Then set aside with the cooked ground beef.

Then preheat your oven, set on broil. Add the remaining butter to the skillet, along with the minced garlic and basil. Let brown for 1-2 minutes, then add the tomato sauce, heavy cream and garlic powder. Stir until combined, then let simmer for 1 – 2 minutes.

Add the cooked ground beef back to the skillet and stir until the beef is well coated. Add the peppers and onions to the pan and mix until the meat and veggies are combined. Cover the cheesesteak and veg with the provolone slices, then place in the oven on broil for 3 – 4 minutes or until the cheese is the desired meltliness.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Philly Cheese Beef Skillet

This recipe for Philly Cheese Beef Skillet is kid approved, making it perfect for those busy work/school nights. It’s a nice chance up from spaghetti, which we seem to have weekly. I used ground beef to make this dish because I typically have ground beef on hand. If you have or would prefer to use steak, by all means do. You can also use whichever coloured peppers you prefer or even add in a few mushrooms. I like the flavour the provolone cheese adds, but shredded or sliced mozzarella would also do the trick.

Ingredients

1 lb Ground Beef

2 Tbsp Butter

2 Tbsp Heavy Cream

1 Tbsp Tomato Sauce (Low Carb)

1 Tsp Garlic Powder

1 Tbsp Fresh Basil

1 Green Pepper

1/2 of a small White Onion

6 Slices Provolone Cheese

Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Directions

1. Start by seasoning the beef with the salt and pepper, then brown it in the skillet over medium heat. Once the beef is fully cooked, remove from the pan and set aside until later. Slice up the onion and green pepper. Add 1 tbsp of the butter to the skillet with the beef drippings. Fry the onion and peppers until browned. (about 4 minutes) Then set aside with the cooked ground beef.

2. Turn your oven on the broil to preheat for a few minutes, then add the remaining butter to the skillet, along with the minced garlic and basil. Let brown for 1 minute, then add the tomato sauce, heavy cream and garlic powder. Stir until combined, then let simmer for 1 – 2 minutes.

3. Add the cooked ground beef back to the skillet and stir until the beef is well coated. Add the peppers and onions to the pan and mix until the meat and veggies are combined. Cover the cheesesteak and veg with the provolone slices, then place in the oven on broil for 3 – 4 minutes or until the cheese is the desired meltliness.

Recipe Notes:

– You can use shredded or sliced Mozzarella Cheese in place of the Provolone if desired.

– If you don’t have an oven proof skillet, use a square baking dish instead.

– The ground beef can be switched out for Sliced Beef Roast or Sliced Cooked Steak if preferred.

– The recipe can be made “one pot style” instead of removing the beef from the pan, just add all the ingredients in along with it. Then let simmer until onions and pepper are cooked through. ( I cook the beef and onions separately because I like how the onion and peppers caramelize on their own)
