Light Creamy Garlic Steak Roll-Ups: A Keto Gourmet Favorite
These Creamy Garlic Steak Roll-Ups are where comfort meets class. Thin strips of tender steak are filled with a rich mix of spinach, cream cheese, and mozzarella, then seared and bathed in a velvety garlic cream sauce. It’s the kind of keto dinner that looks fancy but takes under an hour — a real showstopper for weeknights or date nights at home.
From Simple to Special
I remember the first time I made these — it was one of those nights when I wanted something restaurant-worthy without leaving my kitchen. A quick roll, a good sear, and that creamy sauce took humble ingredients and turned them into something unforgettable. It’s one of those dishes that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite.
Flavor Highlights
- Flank Steak: Thinly sliced for quick cooking and easy rolling.
- Spinach & Garlic: Adds flavor and freshness to the rich cheese filling.
- Cream Cheese & Mozzarella: The duo that makes every bite creamy and melty.
- Parmesan Cream Sauce: Ties it all together with a smooth, savory finish.
Cooking Tip
Don’t overcrowd the skillet — give each roll-up space to brown evenly. That deep golden crust is what locks in flavor and keeps the steak tender.
Perfect Pairings
Serve these roll-ups with:
A crisp green salad to balance the richness.
Roasted cauliflower mash for a hearty side.
Zucchini noodles tossed in olive oil.
