Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)
Vegetables
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the beef.
- Cook the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned, then remove from the skillet and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, green and red bell peppers, and mushrooms. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Combine beef and seasonings: Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and add Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to blend flavors and heat through.
- Melt the cheese: Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese evenly over the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
- Serve and garnish: Dish the hot Philly cheesesteak mixture into bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a low-carb option, serve this cheesesteak bowl over cauliflower rice.
- You can swap regular rice or quinoa underneath for a more filling meal.
- Try replacing the shredded cheese with a creamy cheese sauce for extra richness.
