If you’re a fan of Philly cheese steaks but looking for a simpler, lighter version, this Cheese Steak Wrap is a game changer. It’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious, super easy to make, and brings all the flavors you love with a few healthier tweaks. My family loves it, and I think you will too!
While this recipe isn’t a traditional Philly cheese steak, it hits the spot! I chose to wrap it up in a spinach tortilla for extra greens, but you can make it your own with a variety of options.
Why You’ll Love This Cheese Steak Wrap
- Healthier Take: Using a wrap instead of a hefty roll lightens things up, making it a great choice for a balanced meal. You can use low-carb or any tortilla/wrap you prefer.
- Easy & Quick: With store-bought, thinly sliced steak and a few simple ingredients, you can have this meal ready in no time.
- Customizable: Swap out ingredients to make it perfect for your taste.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Steak: 1 pound of thinly sliced beef, which is available pre-packed at most stores.
Cheeses: I used 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 4 slices of thick American cheese for that gooey, cheesy goodness.
Veggies: 1 large green bell pepper, 1 medium yellow onion, and 1 cup of mushrooms – the “magical trio” for flavor!
Wraps: 4 large spinach tortillas for a hint of green and added fiber, but you can use any.
Optional Additions: Butter lettuce, light mayo, a drizzle of your favorite dressings, and tomato slices for extra freshness.
Step-By-Step Directions:
Marinate and Sear the Steak
Start by marinating your thinly sliced steak. I used simple ingredients. You can most definitely marinate overnight, but 30 minutes in the fridge is enough. Then throw the steak on a hot non-stick pan with a touch of oil. The meat comes out tender and bursting with flavor. Full recipe below.
Cook the Veggies Separately
I sautéed the mushrooms, onions, and green peppers in another pan – a separate process because, well, the boys tend to pick things out. But I would suggest keeping the veggies separately let everyone customize their wrap.
Assemble the Wrap
I evenly and thinly spread a bit of light mayo on the tortilla, then add some butter lettuce. Once the steak is cooked, layer it in your wrap, add your cheeses, and let them melt into the steak. Add in your cooked veggies, if you like. About half a sliced tomato in each wrap for that fresh crunch, and finally drizzle dome dressing such as ranch.
Wrap and Enjoy
Fold up the sides if you like, roll tightly, and your cheese steak wrap is ready to enjoy. Serve it warm and let the flavors speak for themselves!
Tips:
Wrap or Bread? Do you prefer a classic sub feel? Go with a French or Italian roll. If you like wraps, try spinach like me, or perhaps a low-carb tortilla, which we use most of the time.
Cheese Choices: While I used mozzarella and American cheese, provolone is a fantastic, truly a classic option. Feel free to experiment!
Add Some Greens: Butter or Boston lettuce brings a nice crisp, and spinach is always a great option for extra nutrients.

The Ultimate Cheese Steak Wrap
If you’re a fan of Philly cheese steaks but looking for a simpler, lighter version, this Cheese Steak Wrap is a game changer. It’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious, super easy to make, and brings all the flavors you love with a few healthier tweaks.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of thinly sliced/shaved beef, such as ribeye. There is also pre-packed at most stores.
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella
- 4 slices of thick American cheese
- 1 large green bell peppers, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onions, sliced
- 1 cup of mushrooms, quartered
- 4 large spinach tortillas or any on hand
Optional Additions:
- Butter lettuce, light mayo, a drizzle of favorite dressings, and tomato slices.
Steak Marinade:
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1/4 tablespoon sugar
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cups of water
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
Marinate the Steak
- Start by marinating your thinly sliced steak. I used simple ingredients. You can most definitely marinate overnight, but 30 minutes in the fridge is enough.
- The meat comes out tender and bursting with flavor.
Cook the Veggies Separately
- I sautéed the mushrooms, onions, and green peppers in another pan – a separate process.
- While vegetables are cooking, heat up a large skillet, and using a fork or kitchen thongs pull the meat out of the marinade and toss on the hot skillet, keeping a temperature at medium-high heat. I like adding a splash of water just at the very end cover and letting it steam up. TIP: You could use a spatula and separate meat in a skillet into 4 equal portions, then add cheese to each portion and cover. That way while you prep wraps, cheese will melt and all you need is to scoop it with the spatula and add it to the wrap.
Assemble the Wrap
- Evenly and thinly spread a bit of light mayo on the tortilla, then add some butter lettuce.
- Layer the steak in your wrap, add your cheese (unless you already added it in the skillet), and let the cheese melt into the steak.
- Add in your cooked veggies, about half a sliced tomato in each wrap for that fresh crunch, and finally, drizzle dome dressing such as ranch.
Wrap and Enjoy
- Fold up the sides if you like, roll tightly, and your cheese steak wrap is ready to enjoy. Serve it warm!
Notes
If you do not eat beef, you can use shaved of thinly sliced chicken.
