Easy Keto Dinner: Philly Cheesesteak Skillet
You can never have enough one-skillet meals! They are so easy to make, the clean up is usually a breeze, and just like this One-Pan Cheesy Chicken & Spinach Pasta, I know you are all going to love this recipe!

Keto Philly Cheesesteak Ingredients
- Steak – I used flank steak, but any cut you like will work. For true Philly cheesesteak flavors, use a cut with lots of marbling, like ribeye, skirt steak, or flat iron. If you have a hard time thinly slicing your steak, place it in the freezer for 15 minutes until it is firm and try again.
- Peppers – use 2 bell peppers of any color. Green bell peppers have the lowest carb count.
- White Onion
- Mushrooms – optional! Leave these out if you aren’t a fan.
- Worcestershire – if you don’t have this on hand, you can use soy sauce or coconut aminos
- Apple Cider Vinegar – if ACV isn’t something you enjoy the taste of, try Italian dressing instead.
- Garlic
- Butter
- Cream Cheese
- Mozzarella
- Parmesan – this recipe calls for a mix of cheeses, but you may choose to use all mozzarella.
How to Make Skillet Keto Philly Cheesesteak
Start by adding the mushrooms to a skillet, sprinkle with salt and cook until they are golden brown. Once the mushrooms are ready, add some oil to the skillet along with the peppers and onions and cook until they begin to brown. When the vegetables are cooked you’ll remove them from the pan.
Next, you’ll add some butter to the skillet and then start cooking the meat. You will cook the steak in batches so that every slice gets cooked all the way through. By not over-crowing the pan, each piece of steak will have room in the pan to get crispy on the edges. Once all the meat is cooked, remove them from the pan and turn down the heat.
Add the Worcestershire, garlic, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet and stir to release any brown bits from the pan’s bottom. Next, add the peppers, onions, mushrooms, steak, and cream cheese to the skillet. Stir all the ingredients together until they are well combined, and the cream cheese has melted. Lastly, top your skillet with cheese and either pop it under the broiler until it is bubbly or cover the skillet until all the cheese has melted.
