Ingredients
-
1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced (freeze 15–20 min before slicing for easier cutting)
-
1 small onion, thinly sliced
-
1 green bell pepper & 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
-
Chopped parsley, for garnish
-
Optional base: cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower, or cooked white/brown rice
Instructions
-
Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Heat until shimmering.
-
Cook the steak: Add steak slices in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Sear 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
-
Caramelize the veggies: In the same skillet, sauté onions and peppers 5–7 minutes until soft and lightly browned.
-
Add garlic and seasoning: Push veggies aside, cook garlic 30 seconds. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper.
-
Combine: Return steak to the skillet, mix everything, and heat through.
-
Melt the cheese: Reduce heat to low, sprinkle cheese on top, and cover 1–2 minutes until melted. For an extra bubbly top, broil 1 minute in an oven-safe skillet.
-
Serve: Spoon over your base, garnish with parsley, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
-
For extra creaminess: Stir in 2 tbsp cream cheese with the shredded cheese.
-
Mushroom Swiss Bowl: Add sliced mushrooms and swap provolone for Swiss.
-
Spicy Southwest Bowl: Use jalapeño or poblano, chili powder, cumin, and pepper jack cheese.
-
Chicken Philly Bowl: Replace steak with thinly sliced chicken breast or thighs.
-
Prep ahead: Slice steak and veggies up to 24 hours in advance; assemble just before cooking.
