Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Steak & Veggies:

• 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced (against the grain for extra tenderness!)
• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (adds that savory kick)

For the Topping:

• 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
• Chopped parsley (for garnish, and yes—it does make it feel fancier)

For Serving:

• Cauliflower rice (low-carb and proud)
• OR mashed potatoes / white or brown rice (if you want full-on comfort vibes)

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Bowls (Step-by-Step)

1. Prep Like a Pro

Start by slicing your steak thinly against the grain (trust me—this is key to a tender bite). Slice up your onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic for that punch of flavor.

2. Fire Up the Skillet

Get that large skillet hot over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the olive oil and let it shimmer.

3. Sizzle the Steak

Lay the steak in a single layer—don’t overcrowd it! Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and just cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Chef’s note: It’s okay if you snack on a few steak pieces straight from the pan. It’s called “quality control.”

4. Sauté the Veggies

Same skillet, now with all that flavorful goodness still in it. Toss in your sliced onions and peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and just caramelized. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until it gets nice and fragrant.

5. Build Your Bowl

Grab your serving bowls and layer them up: start with your base (cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or regular rice), then pile on that juicy steak and sizzling veggies.

6. Cheese It Up

Sprinkle shredded provolone or mozzarella generously over the top. Let it melt naturally from the heat—or if you want next-level cheesiness, pop the bowl under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.

7. Finish & Serve

Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot. Now sit back and watch your family dive in like it’s the best thing you’ve ever made (because… it might be).

Tips for the Best Philly Cheesesteak Bowls

• Steak too thick? Pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes before slicing—it’ll make those thin slices way easier.
• No provolone? Mozzarella melts beautifully, or even a slice of white American cheese if that’s what you’ve got.
• Want extra kick? Add a few dashes of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the veggies while cooking.
• Veggie swap: Mushrooms are a great addition if you want to stretch the recipe or add earthiness.

Real Talk: I once made this for a girls’ night and everyone ended up asking for the recipe by the end of the night. It’s that kind of dish—easy, crowd-pleasing, and secretly healthy-ish (depending on your base choice, of course).
