🛒 Ingredients

Beef filling

• 1 lb (450 g) thinly sliced ribeye steak
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika

Keto “baguette”

Use 4 low-carb/sub-friendly sandwich rolls or keto baguettes. Choose ones with a carb count that fits your needs.

🧀 Cheese

• 8 slices provolone
• Optional: ¼ cup shredded mozzarella for extra cheesiness

Creamy horseradish sauce

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp prepared horseradish
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Make the sauce:
   Mix mayonnaise, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and pepper. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
2. Cook the steak:
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced ribeye and season with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Cook for about 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
3. Cook the vegetables:
   Remove the beef from the skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Add garlic during the final minute.
4. Combine:
   Return the beef to the skillet and add Worcestershire sauce. Toss everything together for another 1–2 minutes.
5. Build the sandwiches:
   Slice the keto rolls and spread the horseradish mayo inside. Divide the beef and vegetable mixture between the rolls.
6. Add LOTS of cheese: 🧀
   Place 2 slices of provolone over each sandwich.
7. Melt:
   Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted. For a browned top, broil/grill for the final 1–2 minutes while watching closely.
8. Serve:
   Add a little extra sauce and serve hot while the provolone is gooey. 🤤

💪 Protein + Keto Tips

For an even more protein-focused version, use leaner beef and keep the cheese/sauce portions moderate. Serve with a side of roasted broccoli, cauliflower or a crisp salad instead of fries.

Estimated protein: roughly 35–45 g per sandwich, depending on the beef and keto roll.

🔥 My verdict: YUMMY — absolutely smash! The combination of ribeye + caramelized onions + peppers + melted provolone + horseradish sauce is seriously hard to resist.
