Easy Steak Roll Ups Recipe With Veggies Low-Carb, Keto
Easy Steak Roll Ups Recipe With Veggies Low-Carb, Keto – very easy to make, juicy steak strips rolled around julienned carrots, peppers and zucchini, grilled to perfection. Great for an appetizer or a snack, but also could be served as a main dish. Low-carb, keto diet approved ingredients.
What cut of steak should you use for these Easy Steak Roll Ups?
- skirt steak – works best
- you can substitute skirt steak with sirloin tip cut, which is what I often use, because skirt steak is gone quickly at my favorite local store
- flank steak would work, but you’ll have to butterfly cut it to thin it, then tenderize it with a meat hammer (mallet) or meat tenderizing tool, often called blade tenderizer
I suggest that you tenderize the steak, before marinating.
Marinating the steak is optional, but if you have the extra time, marinate it for 2-6 hours, otherwise even 15 minutes in the marinade will work.
For the marinade I used:
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- garlic
- cumin
- paprika
- oregano
- onion powder
- balsamic
- worcestershire sauce
What vegetables work great for these steak roll ups?
Vegetables that are relatively hard in texture work best. Also fresh, bright colored veggies will make these steak roll ups pop up a lot. I used carrots, zucchini, yellow squash and red pepper. You can use asparagus and colorful peppers, instead of zucchini and squash if you prefer.
How to cook Steak Roll Ups?
Grilling is best, but this doesn’t mean you should fire up the grill. While we are very close to grilling season, it has been pretty cold and a little snowy around here these days, so no grilling yet.
I grilled these keto steak rolls on the stove top, in a grill skillet that works wonders. You can use a regular cast iron skillet, but the rolls won’t have the pretty grill marks. You can also bake these in the oven at 425 F for 10 minutes, but I personally prefer the grilling method.
This Steak Roll Ups Recipe is great for a summer party appetizer, so colorful and delicious. They also taste amazing even if they are cold.
If you don’t like crunchy veggies, you can pre cook them in a skillet for 2-3 minutes, until softened and then make the roll ups, then grill the rolls. Adjust this steak roll ups recipe to your taste.

Your instructions say to cut the steak into one inch thick strips. Those in your picture are hardly an inch. They look morekike a quarter inch. Please clarify.
I’m sorry they look 1/4 inch to you. I cut mine into 2.54 centimeters = 1 inch strips. You can cut them thinner. but n=between 1/2 and 1 inch is where they can hold the “filling” of veggies.
YUM! Grew up eating steak roll-ups and these are better than the traditional. Love how the veggies stay a little crisp. The only thing I did different was to saute mushrooms and onions on the pan after browning the roll-ups and then adding heavy cream, cream cheese and butter for a wonderful gravy.
This sounds amazing! I’ll be making this gravy next time 🙂
