While I clearly love to cook, even I sometimes feel like I’m running on fumes in the kitchen. Day after day, meal after meal, it can sometimes just be a lot, you know?
We all need a few recipes in our arsenal (like these Asian Orange Chicken Bowls or Chicken Caprese Salad) for the overwhelmed days: Recipes that are quick, delicious, and easy to pack for tomorrow’s lunch. Bonus points if it doesn’t require a ton of dishes!
Well, here’s a new winner for you! This lettuce wrap is stuffed with shaved beef, peppers, onions, and cheese. The combinations of textures is fantastic, and the taste holds up perfectly when reheating leftovers! It’s the perfect 2-birds-1-stone meal.
This is a perfect meal for long-term planning as well. After cooking the meat and veggies, you could freeze individual portions so that you have lunch ready to go at a moment’s notice. If you have family or friends who need a good meal, this is a great non-casserole, low-maintenance meal to take as well!
If you make ahead and store in a slow cooker, this could even be an easy, healthy, low-carb potluck lunch option! The opportunities for this simple dish are endless!
Ingredients for Steak Lettuce Wraps
As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need for this recipe. You will find the complete recipe and instructions for this recipe below, just keep scrolling.
- Butter: I use salted butter for this recipe, but unsalted will also work.
- Shaved Beef: you can use a different cut of steak if you wish. You can also use shaved pork for a different variation.
- Steak Marinade: use your favorite variety; Allegro or Dales are my favorite brands.
- Vegetables: onion, bell peppers and mushrooms.
- Cheese: I use Provolone cheese, but another variety would work fine.
- Lettuce: romaine, Iceberg, butter lettuce or your favorite variety will also work.
How do you make Keto Philly Cheesesteak Wraps
- Melt the butter in a hot skillet. Add the onions, peppers and mushrooms. Sauté 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Push the vegetables to the side (or remove from the skillet and set aside, if your skillet is not big enough) and add the shaved beef to the hot, greased skillet. Using tongs, with the steak marinade sauté the beef and vegetables another 4-5 minutes until the beef is cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cheese slices to the skillet and remove from heat. Allow the dish to sit a few minutes as the cheese melts.
- Serve with lettuce wraps and eat immediately.
Do I have to use mushrooms?
No, if you aren’t a mushroom fan you can definitely leave them out and just enjoy this dish with peppers and onions!
What kind of lettuce should I use for this dish?
Romaine and Iceberg lettuce provides good crunch. They are also heartier and hold up a bit better than softer lettuce for this filling dish.
Can I meal prep this dish?
Definitely! You can cook the veggies and steak 2-3 days beforehand and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the skillet, place your cheese, and serve! You could also freeze the meat & veggies (without cheese) up to 4 months. Thaw and reheat in the skillet with a teaspoon or two of water to avoid it from drying out, then add cheese to melt.
You can also reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments until it is warmed throughout and the cheese is melted.
