Ingredients for Keto Asian Steak Rolls?
Here’s a quick overview of what you need for this recipe. As usual, keep scrolling to the recipe card for specific measurements and instructions!
- Flank steak – Other cuts like skirt, round, or other lean, thin beef cuts could work, too.
- Soy sauce, Toasted sesame oil, and Sriracha – LaChoy is gluten free. I don’t recommend substituting any other oils or sauces as these provide the perfect flavor combination. This was flavorful enough that I didn’t feel it needed salt, either.
- Sweetener – golden monk fruit is the best low-carb sweetener for this. If you are not keto/low-carb, feel free to use regular brown sugar, coconut sugar or honey.
- Garlic – freshly minced garlic is best for this recipe.
- Vegetables – I used red bell pepper and snow peas, but there are more suggestions down below if you would like to different ones.
How do I make Keto Steak Rolls?
This recipe is easier than it looks and can be completed in steps that make meal prepping very convenient if you’re into that kind of thing. Here’s a quick rundown on how I made these delicious rollups!
- Cut the steak and vegetables: cut the steak into small sections (about 3″x4″ pieces) you can easily roll. If your steak is not flat or is very thick, first pound it thin on a cutting board into a 9″x16″ or 12″x12″ shape using a mallet (cover first with wax paper or plastic wrap to avoid a mess) so that each piece is the same thickness. Vegetables should be cut to equal size.
- Marinate: combine the ingredients and allow the steak to sit in the marinade for 1-24 hours for the best flavor.
- Roll: place the veggie slices on the slice of meat, then roll and secure with a toothpick.
- Cook: You can sear these in a frying pan then bake to finish or cook entirely in the air fryer. Specific instructions are in the printable recipe card below.
What should I serve with this Asian steak dish?
Skip the take out and make your own delicious spread with some tasty sides. Stir-fry veggies, Crispy Brussels Sprout Fried Rice, white rice, or Lo Mein noodles would be perfect, simple side dishes.
Storage and Reheating:
Allow your leftover steak rolls to cool, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These will keep up to 4 days in the fridge. To reheat, simply microwave in 30-60 second increments on 50% power, turning between blasts until warmed through. If you’re reheating the entire batch at once, give them a quick spray or two of water to keep them moist, then pop into an oven at 350 degrees F on a baking sheet for 5-8 minutes.
Steak Roll FAQ’s
Yes! I used snow peas and red peppers for the crunch and flavor, but other veggies work, too. Onions, carrots, asparagus, green beans, etc. would all be delicious, so do what’s best for you and your family! Take into account how long each vegetables takes to cook. Harder vegetables (like raw carrots) take longer to cook, so slice those like thin matchsticks so they’ll be nice and tender by the time the steak is finished.
Yes, this would be a great dish for that cut! An Asian round steak dish like this would be a relatively inexpensive, impressive meal to share with guests. Both flank steak and round steak are lean, soak up marinade well, and will handle these flavors beautifully. Skirt steak, thinly-cut hangar steak, or flat iron steak could also be substituted. If your cut is too thick to roll, simply butterfly the steak before marinating.
Absolutely. The steak can be cut to size and marinated ahead of time (you can even freeze the steak in the marinade). Marinate up to 24 hours, then roll the vegetables in the steak up to 3 days ahead of time, then store in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.
Of course! The versatility of this recipe is one of its best features. Other Asian flavors like Teriyaki sauce, ginger, mirin, or sake could all be combined for fun flavor. You could even skip the Asian ingredients entirely and use your favorite store-bought steak marinade instead.
