Description
A deconstructed Philly cheesesteak served in a bowl, combining tender steak, sautéed vegetables, and a creamy provolone cheese sauce over a base of rice or lettuce for a lighter, customizable meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked white rice (or cauliflower rice for low carb)
- 2 cups shredded lettuce (optional)
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain; season it with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for 8–10 minutes until caramelized. Add bell peppers and mushrooms; cook for another 5–6 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat olive oil over high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and sear without stirring for 2–3 minutes. Stir and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until fully cooked. Return the vegetables to the skillet and combine well.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine cream cheese and heavy cream until melted and smooth. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, then add provolone slices. Whisk until fully melted and creamy.
- To assemble: Add rice or cauliflower rice to each bowl, layer with shredded lettuce if using, top with the steak and veggie mixture, and drizzle with the cheese sauce. Add extra provolone slices on top if desired.
Notes
- For a low-carb version, use cauliflower rice and omit shredded lettuce.
- Swap steak with portobello mushrooms or plant-based meat for a vegetarian option.
- Reheat cheese sauce gently to prevent graininess.
- Use sharp cheddar or mozzarella as cheese alternatives if needed.
