Low Carb Steak and Pastrami Bomb (+ Keto!)

I’m like the queen of cravings this week. One of my very first keto recipes was this Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers recipe back in 2012 and despite the original photo, which was pretty awful because it was taken in a very yellow room with a cellphone, it got over 1500 pins on Pinterest! I’ve since updated the image but kept the recipe the same because it’s really just so delicious.

This time around, I wanted to beef it up (get it?), so I made a new kind of steaky explosion, the low carb steak and pastrami bomb. The strami bomb. The pastreak bomb. I tried to make it shorter but I think we’re all better off with steak and pastrami bomb. And it really is an explosion of flavor with deli mustard, creamy mayo and cheesy goodness mixed with the complexity of a pastrami and steak marriage. Muah!
