Philly Cheesesteak Cabbage Wraps

Philly Cheesesteak Cabbage Wraps

If you’re trying to avoid gluten or carbs (maybe on that low-carb or keto life), then never fear — we have plenty of options that will still allow you to enjoy all the flavors of your favorite sandwiches. My favorite example? These Philly cheesesteak cabbage wraps. Thinly sliced beef, melty cheese, onions, and peppers are all tucked into a blanched cabbage wrap for — what’s not to love? They’re everything you love about the OG, without the bread.

Ingredients

  • 8 large green cabbage leaves (from about 1 head) 
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided 
  • 2 large bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, thinly sliced 
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano 
  • Kosher salt 
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. skirt steak, thinly sliced
  • 6 slices provolone 

Directions

Step 1

Into a large pot of boiling water, using tongs, dip cabbage leaves into water until blanched, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to dry.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 Tbsp. oil. Add bell peppers, onion, and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion and peppers are tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet.

Step 3

In same skillet over medium-high heat, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Arrange steak in a single layer; season with salt and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until steak is seared on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the steak is seared on second side and cooked to your liking, about 2 minutes more for medium.

Step 4

Return onion and peppers to skillet and toss to combine. Top with an even layer of provolone and cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Cook until cheese is melty, about 1 minute. 

Step 5

Scoop some steak mixture onto the center of a cabbage leaf. Fold short end of leaf over, then roll up the long side like a burrito with an open end. Repeat with remaining leaves and steak mixture.

Recipe information

  • Total Time 30 minutes
  • Yield 4–6 servings

Ingredients

1 garlic clove, finely grated

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

3 Tbsp. plus ½ cup buttermilk powder

2½ tsp. sugar, divided

1¾ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided, plus more

1 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more

1 large English hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise, sliced 1″ thick on a diagonal

1 lb. mixed tomatoes (such as beefsteak, heirloom, and/or cherry), cut into thick wedges, halved if small

1 cup chopped dill and/or thinly sliced chives

3 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ lb.)

2½ tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. onion powder

2 medium red onions, cut into thick wedges through root ends

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk 1 garlic clove, finely grated, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp. Dijon mustard, ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, 3 Tbsp. buttermilk powder, ½ tsp. sugar, and ¼ tsp. Diamond Crystal or Morton kosher salt in a small bowl; season with freshly ground pepper. Set dressing aside.

Step 2

Toss 1 large English hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise, sliced 1″ thick on a diagonal, 1 lb. mixed tomatoes (such as beefsteak, heirloom, and/or cherry), cut into thick wedges, halved if small, and 1 cup chopped dill and/or thinly sliced chives in a large bowl; set salad aside.

Step 3

Working with 1 of 3 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ lb.), at a time, hold a long knife parallel to cutting board and cut in half, slicing along a longer side to divide into 2 thin cutlets. (They should be about ¼” thick. If too thick, cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or the back of a cast-iron skillet.)

Step 4

Mix 2½ tsp. garlic powder, 2 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. freshly ground pepper, and remaining ½ cup buttermilk powder, 2 tsp. sugar, and 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt in a shallow bowl. Dredge each cutlet in mixture to generously coat on both sides; arrange on a baking sheet. Sprinkle any remaining dredge over cutlets.

Step 5

Prepare a grill for medium heat. Place 2 medium red onions, cut into thick wedges through root ends, on a another baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Grill onions, cut side down, until grill marks form and they release easily from grate, 1–2 minutes. Turn; grill until slightly softened, ends are lightly charred, and grill marks form on other side, 1–2 minutes. Return to baking sheet.

Step 6

Drizzle chicken with oil. Grill until dark grill marks appear and chicken releases easily from grate (if stuck, use a spatula to help release), 1–2 minutes. Turn and grill until cooked through, 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a plate; season with more salt if needed.

Step 7

Add onions to reserved salad. Drizzle reserved dressing over, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Arrange on a platter and top with chicken. Drizzle any dressing left in bowl over.
