Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Heat oil in skillet on High heat for 2-5 minutes until it shimmers and pops.
  3. Add your steak and sear for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the peppers and onions and cook another 1-2 minutes until they soften.
  5. Add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more. Turn off heat.
  6. Stir in your egg and cream mixture.
  7. Cover with provolone cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Optionally, you can garnish the casserole with green onions before serving.

Shopping Notes

  1. Thin steaks 1/4″ to 1/2″ thick are best. Ribeye or sirloin cuts work well.
  2. Get medium to high heat tolerant oil. I used safflower oil because it was on sale.
  3. Heavy whipping cream is typically hiding near the milk somewhere.
  4. Save time with pre-minced garlic and/or pre-sliced peppers and onions.

I created this recipe after seeing a viral video of philly cheesesteak lasagna and wanted to invent a low carb version.

This casserole is the first step on that mission.  I started by researching these low carb philly cheesesteak casserole recipes from Grassfed Mama and Diet Doctor but they don’t hold their shape out of the pan.

So then I reviewed this keto quiche recipe from Kim at Low Carb Maven and tried to integrate some of her techniques to get my casserole to hold it’s shape.

It worked!

Hope it works for you too.

Cheers,
