These Keto Philly Cheesesteak Pockets are a low-carb twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Made with a savory fathead dough and filled with shaved steak, peppers, onions, and gooey cheese, these pockets are a delicious and satisfying meal for anyone following a ketogenic diet.

Ingredients

Scale

Fathead Dough

  • 1 tbsp of grass-fed butter or other healthy fat
  • 1/2 Yellow Onion (sliced thinly)
  • 3 red baby bell peppers (sliced thinly)
  • 1 jalapeno (sliced thinly (optional))
  • 1.5 tbsp Onion Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 lb Shaved Steak (I get mine from Trader Joes)
  • 5 slices White American Cheese (I like to get this sliced fresh from the deli because the packaged kind does not taste the same to me)
  • 1/2 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 2 tbsp No Sugar Added Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fathead Dough and divide it into 8 balls. Flatten each dough ball between two slices of parchment paper with your hand or use a rolling pin.
  2. Chop the shaved meat so that it’s thinly sliced but also in bite-sized pieces.
  3. Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add the butter, onions, and peppers to the pan. Saute the vegetables in a tbsp of butter until they are soft and ‘fried’.
  4. Add the shaved beef to the pan along with spices.
  5. Use tongs to incorporate and cook the meat until all slices are browned.
  6. Turn off the heat and add the American Cheese to the top of the meat and vegetable mix. Cover the skillet with its lid or with a wide plate. The steam will cause the cheese to melt.
  7. After the cheese has melted (~3 minutes), mix the meat so that the cheese is fully incorporated.
  8. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the 8 balls. Leave room to fold the dough and seal each pocket.
  9. Seal the edges by pressing them down with a fork or by rolling the edges.
  10. Heat a frying pan to medium heat with an oil.
  11. Fry the pockets on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side. You’ll notice the dough get brown.
  12. Whisk the ingredients for the sauce with a fork. Top the pockets with the sauce before eating.

Notes

  • You can customize the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of jalapeno and sriracha sauce
  • These pockets can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated for a quick meal
