Print Recipe

A quick and delicious low-carb take on the classic Philly cheesesteak using ribeye steak, caramelized onions, provolone cheese, and crisp romaine lettuce wraps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • Large romaine lettuce leaves, washed and separated
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice ribeye steak against the grain. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince garlic cloves. Separate and wash large romaine leaves, then pat dry.
  2. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until onions are soft and golden brown. Add minced garlic in the last 2 minutes.
  3. Push onions to one side of the skillet. Add olive oil to the empty side and increase heat to medium-high. Add sliced ribeye in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Sear without moving for 2 minutes, then stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through.
  4. Mix steak and onions together in the skillet. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the mixture and stir to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
  5. Lay out romaine leaves and place a generous amount of the steak and onion mixture on each. Top with a slice of provolone cheese. Optionally, warm the wraps in a 350°F oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
  6. Serve immediately while lettuce is crisp and filling is warm and melty.

Notes

Slice steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Caramelize onions slowly for sweetness. Use a hot pan for a good sear. Tear romaine leaves by hand to keep them crisp. Optionally warm assembled wraps briefly in the oven to melt cheese without wilting lettuce.
