Essentials for Making a Keto Philly Cheesesteak Chaffle Sandwich
- Chaffles – 2 per serving. I suggest using my sourdough or crispy chaffles.
- Thinly sliced roast beef – save money and make your own (instructions below)
- Bell pepper
- Mushrooms
- Sliced onion
- Provolone cheese
- Cooking oil
What Type of Beef Should I Use?
Purchasing sliced roast beef from the deli can be pricier and often comes loaded with sodium and artificial flavors. While it works in a time crunch, mastering the cheesesteak calls for making your own roast beef.
I’ve detailed a step-by-step guide for roasting and slicing the perfect roast beef. Cook it up, freeze it in portions, and you’ll always be set for those keto beef sandwich cravings.
Can I Use SteakUms for Keto Philly Cheesesteak?
Absolutely! Just follow the cooking instructions on the package, then continue with the rest of the recipe.
Instructions
- Prepare the chaffles. If they’re pre-made, reheat in a toaster or toaster oven or return them to your Dash Mini Waffle Maker for toasting.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil. Sauté the mushrooms and onions until almost fully cooked, then add the peppers.
- Layer the warm chaffles with roast beef, followed by the sautéed vegetables, then top with cheese.
- Place the assembled sandwich under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts, then enjoy.
Suggested Pairings for Keto Philly Cheesesteak Chaffles
Craving some cheesy goodness? Try pairing these with Cheesy Zucchini Pizza Bites, or whip up a Keto Broccoli Casserole with Parmesan and Bacon. Love mushrooms? Easy Marinated Mushrooms or Green Goddess Stuffed Mushrooms make fantastic complements. Want something fresh and crunchy? You can never go wrong with a Keto Wedge Salad!
Alternatively, enjoy a classic soup and sandwich combo with your favorite soup and this hearty keto sandwich. For added flavor, slather some Green Goddess Dip on the warm chaffle before adding the rest of your cheesesteak fillings. Delicious!
Is the Keto Philly Cheesesteak Chaffle Sandwich Freezer-Friendly?
For the veggie filling, store it in an airtight freezer-safe container. To freeze the chaffles, arrange them loosely in a freezer-safe zip-top bag and then into the freezer. Both will remain fresh for up to three months.
To thaw the vegetables, move them to the fridge overnight. For the chaffles, I suggest using a toaster or toaster oven to bring back their crispiness, or re-toast them in your Dash Mini Waffle Maker.
After that, just assemble your sandwich and indulge!
