Ingredients
For the Main Dish:
1 lb thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch works great)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Sauce / Garnish (optional):
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
How I Make It
Step 1:
Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers with a pinch of salt, and sauté until they’re tender and just beginning to caramelize—usually about 5 minutes. That golden, sweet smell? Yes, please!
Step 2:
Push the veggies to one side, add the remaining olive oil, then add your thinly sliced steak. Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the meat. Sear the steak slices quickly—about 2 to 3 minutes—stirring occasionally so they brown evenly but stay juicy.
Step 3:
Combine the meat and veggies together in the pan, then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes. Watch it ooze into every nook—this is the good stuff.
Step 4:
While the cheese melts, warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds so they’re pliable and soft—no one likes a wrap that cracks!
Step 5:
Spoon a generous amount of the steak, cheese, and veggie mix down the center of each tortilla. If you’re using the sauce, mix mayo, Dijon, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl, then spread a little on the tortilla before adding the filling.
Step 6:
Fold the sides in and roll tightly from the bottom up. If you like, place the wraps back in the pan for a minute or two to get a little crispy and seal the edges. Slice in half, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
Variations & Tips
Swap ribeye for sirloin or even thinly sliced chicken breast for a different protein.
Try sautéing mushrooms with the peppers and onions for extra umami.
Use provolone for a classic Philly vibe or pepper jack for a spicy kick.
If your steak isn’t slicing thin enough, place it in the freezer for 20 minutes before slicing.
Add pickled jalapeños for punchy flavor inside the wrap.
Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
How I Like to Serve It
These wraps are perfect teamed with a simple side salad dressed in tangy vinaigrette, or crispy oven-baked fries for a real Philly street food feel. They’re also fantastic for game day snacks—easy to eat and packed with flavor. If you’re serving kids, sneak in some extra cheese and mild peppers to make sure everyone’s happy.
Notes
Store leftover wraps tightly wrapped in foil or airtight containers for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep the tortilla crisp instead of soggy microwaving.
Closing: These Philly Steak Wraps hit that perfect balance of fast, flavorful, and fun every single time — your new go-to for dinner satisfaction.
