So I love the original Philly cheesesteak. Steak, hot dog bun, onions, and cheese whiz. You can keep the version that uses bell peppers and provolone, the original comes from Pat's King of Steaks and uses ultra-processed cheese-like sauce and it's delicious. I love to take unhealthy food though and make healthier versions, so that's what I did here. A coconut flour and psyllium husk flatbread serves as the bread, keto and high in fiber. I used grass-fed skirt steak from Aldi, though using the grass-fed ribeye from Aldi would be more authentic, since the original uses ribeye. I wanted to keep the price down, however, and skirt steak is delicious anyway. As a substitute for cheese whiz, I used Organic Valley pasture-raised American cheese and melted it into the beef and onions. The result was an amazing flatbread sandwich that won't spike my blood sugar. It's also satiating thanks to the fiber in the flatbread. As always, I kept the calorie count just under 600. It feels like a huge sandwich, though.

Ingredients

Coconut flour flatbread

• 1/4 cup (28 g) coconut flour
• 1 tbsp (5 g) whole psyllium husks
• 2.5 oz (75 g) water
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt

  Fillings

• 5 oz (142 g) skirt steak, thinly sliced

• Pinch of salt and black pepper

Procedure:

• Mix the psyllium husks with water and allow to thicken. Add the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt, and knead into a dough. Use a tortilla press or rolling pin to flatten the dough into a round circle. Heat a cast iron or carbon steel skillet on medium high heat. Cook the flatbread on both sides until it starts to brown.
• In the same skillet, sauté onions until browned slightly
• Add sliced skirt steak, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sear until browned and cooked through.
• Lower heat and melt in the American cheese, stirring to coat steak and onions in the cheese.
• Spoon steak, onion, and cheese mixture onto half of the coconut flour flatbread and fold over.
