Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 lb beef steak (ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter, for grilling

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Wraps

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Start by slicing your steak as thin as possible. If you’re using a tougher cut, placing it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before slicing makes it easier to cut into thin strips. Also, slice the onion and bell peppers so they cook evenly.

Step 2: Cook the Steak

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced steak in a single layer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring to develop a nice sear. Then, stir and cook for another 2 minutes until browned. Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Return the cooked steak to the skillet and add Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat.

Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out a flour tortilla and place a slice of provolone cheese in the center. Spoon some of the steak and veggie mixture on top of the cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.

Step 6: Grill the Wraps

Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. The cheese inside should be nice and melty.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately. Enjoy them as is, or pair them with a side of fries, a fresh salad, or even a simple dipping sauce like garlic aioli or ranch dressing.

Helpful Tips

• Use Thinly Sliced Beef: The thinner the slices, the faster and more evenly the meat will cook. Ribeye and sirloin work best for that classic cheesesteak flavor.
• Preheat Your Pan Well: This ensures a great sear on the beef, which adds to the flavor.
• Melt the Cheese Right: Placing the cheese directly on the warm steak mixture before wrapping ensures it melts perfectly.
• Make It Spicy: Add red pepper flakes or a few slices of jalapeño for some heat.
• Toast the Wrap for Extra Crispiness: Cooking the wrap in butter not only helps seal it but also gives it a nice, crispy texture.

Notes

• For the Best Steak: If you don’t have pre-sliced steak, you can place a whole steak in the freezer for about 20 minutes before slicing. This makes it easier to cut thin, even slices, which cook faster and more evenly.
• Cheese Alternatives: While provolone is a classic choice, you can also use mozzarella, white American cheese, or cheddar for a slightly different flavor.
• Tortilla Size Matters: Large flour tortillas (burrito size) work best for wrapping everything securely. If using smaller tortillas, you may need to reduce the filling per wrap or use extra tortillas.
• Low-Carb Option: If you’re looking for a lower-carb alternative, swap the flour tortilla for a lettuce wrap or serve the cheesesteak filling over a bed of greens.
• Extra Flavor Boost: A small drizzle of garlic aioli, chipotle mayo, or a touch of hot sauce can take this wrap to the next level.
• Make it a Meal: Pair your wrap with sweet potato fries, a side salad, or roasted veggies for a complete and balanced meal.
• Double the Batch: This recipe is easy to double if you’re cooking for a crowd or want to meal prep for the week. Simply store extra wraps in the fridge or freezer for quick and easy meals later.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigeration: Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: You can freeze assembled wraps before grilling. Wrap each one in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheating: Warm them up in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cheese?

Absolutely! While provolone is the traditional choice, you can also try mozzarella, cheddar, Swiss, or even pepper jack for a spicy twist.

Can I make this wrap vegetarian?

Yes! Swap the steak for mushrooms, tofu, or a plant-based meat alternative and follow the same cooking process.

What’s the best way to reheat the wrap?

To keep it crispy, use a skillet or air fryer rather than microwaving. If using an air fryer, heat at 350°F for 5 minutes.

Can I add extra toppings?

Of course! Some great additions include sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños, pickled banana peppers, or a drizzle of sriracha for extra flavor.
