Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

Slice the steak thinly against the grain. If needed, freeze the steak for 15 minutes to make slicing easier.

Step 2: Cook the Steak

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, sauté the sliced peppers and onions for 6–8 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 4: Combine Steak and Veggies

Return the cooked steak to the skillet and stir with the vegetables. Heat everything through for 1–2 minutes.

Step 5: Melt the Cheese

Turn off the heat and lay the provolone cheese slices over the top of the steak and vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Bowls warm, garnished with chopped parsley or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick. For meal prep, divide the mixture into containers and store cheese separately to avoid sogginess.
