Ingredients

1 lb

Ribeye steak or thinly sliced sirloin

High protein, zero carbs. The fat content keeps you satiated and adds the richness the dish needs.

1 tbsp

Olive oil or butter

For cooking the vegetables and steak.

1 small

Green bell pepper, sliced

Adds color, crunch, and a small amount of vitamin C with minimal carbs.

1 small

Onion, thinly sliced

Caramelizes into sweetness that balances the savory steak and cheese.

8 leaves

Large romaine or butter lettuce leaves

Replaces a hoagie roll (30–40g carbs) with almost zero carbs. Large leaves hold the filling without tearing.

6 slices

Provolone cheese (or mozzarella)

High fat, very low carbs. Melts well and pulls the filling together.

1 tsp

Garlic powder

Seasons the steak with depth without adding carbs.

To taste

Salt and black pepper

½ cup

Mushrooms, sliced Optional

Adds fiber, potassium, and antioxidants — makes the dish more filling without adding significant carbs.

1

Prepare the steak. Slice the ribeye or sirloin very thin. Tip: freeze the steak for 20 minutes first — it firms up the meat and makes thin slicing much easier.
2

Cook the vegetables. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper (and mushrooms if using). Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, then remove from the pan and set aside.
3

Cook the steak. In the same pan, add the sliced steak. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until browned.
4

Combine and melt. Add the peppers and onions back into the pan with the steak. Lay the provolone slices on top, cover the pan, and let the cheese melt.
5

Assemble the wraps. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture into large lettuce leaves. Add optional mayo or garlic aioli if desired. Serve immediately.
