Keto Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak: Freeze the steak for about 30 minutes before slicing; this makes it easier to cut into thin strips. Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers, sautéing until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add the sliced steak. Cook over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
4. Assemble the Sliders: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a baking sheet, lay out the slider buns. Layer each bun with cooked steak, sautéed vegetables, and a slice of provolone cheese. If using lettuce, place the steak and veggies on the leaf, top with cheese, and wrap.
5. Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled sliders in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If using lettuce, you can microwave briefly or use the oven if the lettuce can handle the heat.
6. Serve: Optionally, spread a small amount of mayonnaise on the bun or lettuce before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly Philly Cheesesteak Sliders warm!

Storage

• Refrigeration: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
• Freezing: For longer storage, wrap individual sliders in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to one month. Reheat in the oven directly from frozen.

Variations

1. Mushroom Addition: Add sautéed mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.
2. Spicy Kick: Incorporate jalapeños or red chili flakes for a spicier version.
3. Different Cheeses: Experiment with Swiss or blue cheese for a unique twist.
