7 ratings

For those on a Ketogenic journey, finding a satisfying and flavorful Keto high-protein dinner recipe can be a delightful adventure. In the world of Keto protein-packed dinners, the Keto mushroom stuffed Philly cheesesteak stands out as a scrumptious choice that's both low in carbs and high in flavor. In this article, we explore the Keto-friendliness of this Philly cheesesteak twist, delve into the choice of mushrooms, and discover the ideal steak cut for this hearty dish.

Is Philly cheesesteak Keto?

Traditionally, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are not considered Keto-friendly due to the high-carb nature of the bread. However, by making a few clever substitutions, such as using mushrooms as the base instead of bread, you can transform this beloved classic into a Keto protein-packed dinner. The rich flavors of steak, cheese, and vegetables remain, making it an excellent choice for those following a Ketogenic diet.

What type of mushroom can you use?

When preparing this Keto mushroom stuffed Philly cheesesteak, opting for large portabella or button mushrooms is an excellent choice. Portabellas provide a robust base with a meaty texture that can mimic the traditional bread roll. Their size and shape make them ideal for stuffing with savory fillings like steak, onions, peppers, and cheese. Additionally, portabella mushrooms have a rich, earthy flavor that complements the dish's overall taste.

What steak cut can you use?

For the perfect Keto Philly cheesesteak experience, sirloin steak is an excellent cut to use. Its tenderness and flavor profile make it an ideal choice for this dish. When thinly sliced and quickly cooked, sirloin steak retains its juiciness and pairs wonderfully with the other ingredients. Whether you're grilling, sautéing, or baking, sirloin steak brings the right balance of protein and taste to this Keto-friendly creation.

        So yummy! Doubled everything but the mushrooms and onion. Fed our family of 5 with only the hubs and I eating mushroom buns. The kids and my mil had hoagie rolls.
