Ingredients

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced Rich, tender protein with great flavor for quick searing.
  • 1 small onion, sliced Adds sweetness and depth to balance the meat.
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced Provides color, crunch, and vitamin C.
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced Adds sweetness, antioxidants, and vibrant color.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Boosts savory flavor and has immune-supporting properties.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Healthy fat for cooking and flavor carrier for the aromatics.
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce Adds umami and a tangy depth.
  • 1 tsp salt (to taste) Enhances flavors across the dish.
  • 1 tsp black pepper (to taste) Adds warm, spicy notes.
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese Melts beautifully for that classic cheesesteak finish.
  • Chopped parsley (for garnish) Freshness and a pop of color.
  • Cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or white rice (for serving) Base choice: cauliflower rice keeps it low-carb; potatoes or rice make it heartier.

Method

Preparation
  1. Prepare the ingredients: Thinly slice the steak against the grain, slice the onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic. Have your cauliflower rice (or mashed potatoes/white rice) ready in bowls.
  2. Heat the skillet: Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Cooking
  1. Cook the steak: Add the sliced steak, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste), and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Sear for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned but still juicy. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
  2. Sauté the veggies: In the same pan, add the sliced onions, green and red bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring, until softened and slightly caramelized.
  3. Combine steak and veggies: Return the cooked steak to the pan and toss for 1–2 minutes to marry the flavors and reheat the meat.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide your choice of cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or white rice among serving bowls. Top with the steak and sautéed veggies.
  5. Melt the cheese: Sprinkle 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella evenly over the warm ingredients and allow it to melt naturally. For extra crispiness, place the bowls or the skillet under a broiler for 1–2 minutes—watch closely so the cheese doesn’t burn.
  6. Garnish and serve: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, slice against the grain to keep each bite tender. Pat the meat dry before searing for a better brown crust. Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Watch the cheese closely when broiling to prevent burning.
