These Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups are packed with juicy steak, melted cheese, and tasty veggies all wrapped up in soft tortillas. They make a fun and easy meal or snack!
I love making these for game nights or when friends come over. They disappear fast! Just grab some extra napkins, because they can get a little cheesy. 😉
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ribeye Steak: This cut is perfect for cheesesteaks due to its tenderness and rich flavor. If you can’t find ribeye, flank steak or sirloin works too. Just make sure to slice it thin for quick cooking.
Onions: I recommend using yellow onions for a nice sweetness. If you prefer a milder flavor, red onions are a great choice. Both add depth to the dish!
Bell Pepper: Adding green bell pepper gives a fresh crunch. Feel free to skip it or switch it up with roasted red peppers or even sliced mushrooms for a different taste.
Cheese: Cheddar and mozzarella bring great flavor and gooey texture. If you’re looking for more taste, use provolone or even a spicy pepper jack to kick it up a notch!
Tortillas: Flour tortillas are excellent for holding everything together. Whole wheat tortillas are a healthier option, or corn tortillas for a gluten-free version, though they may break easier.
How Do You Get the Perfectly Sautéed Veggies?
Sautéing the veggies correctly enhances their flavors and gives them the right texture. Here’s how to do it:
- Start on medium-high heat to get a nice sizzle. This helps to caramelize the onions quickly.
- Add onions and bell peppers first. Cook until they’re soft and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Don’t rush to add the garlic; it cooks quickly! Add it last so it becomes aromatic without burning.
Remember, don’t overcrowd the pan. If needed, do it in batches to keep everything evenly cooked. Happy cooking!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious recipe will take about 10 minutes to prepare, plus 18 minutes to bake. In total, you’re looking at about 30 minutes before you can indulge in these cheesy, savory roll ups!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Sauté the Vegetables:
Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers (if you’re using them) to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become softened and slightly caramelized. This step brings out their sweet flavors!
2. Add the Garlic and Steak:
Once the vegetables are ready, add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Then, push the veggies to the side of the pan and add the thinly sliced ribeye steak. Season everything with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Mix the vegetables back in, then remove the skillet from heat.
3. Prepare for Baking:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Now, take the large flour tortillas and lay them out flat.
4. Assemble the Roll Ups:
Evenly distribute the steak and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Next, sprinkle the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone cheese over the filling. Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly. Don’t forget to fold in the sides to secure all the delicious ingredients inside!
5. Bake and Enjoy:
Place the roll ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like. Then, bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted. Yum!
6. Serve and Garnish:
Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing into thick pieces. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or horseradish mayo.
Now, enjoy your savory, cheesy Philly Cheesesteak Roll Ups with all the classic flavors wrapped up in a golden, crispy crust! They’re sure to be a hit!
Can I Use a Different Cut of Meat?
Absolutely! If you can’t find ribeye, flank steak or sirloin are great alternatives. Just make sure they are sliced thinly for even cooking and tenderness.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave, but the oven will keep them crispy!
Can I Freeze These Roll Ups?
Yes! You can freeze the cooked roll ups. Just let them cool completely, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes.
What Dipping Sauces Go Well with These Roll Ups?
These roll ups pair wonderfully with ranch dressing, horseradish mayo, or even marinara sauce for a twist! Feel free to indulge in your favorite sauces!
