Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb 90/10 lean ground beef
- 2 large green bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Base
- 2 cups cooked cauliflower rice or white rice
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat if necessary to keep the dish lean.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, which enhances their natural sweetness.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the mixture is well combined.
- Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Layer the provolone cheese slices evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 60 seconds, creating a creamy finish.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice or white rice among four bowls. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture evenly over the rice bases. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a lower-carb version, use cauliflower rice as the base instead of white rice.
- Feel free to add more vegetables like sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Using 90/10 lean ground beef helps reduce fat without sacrificing flavor.
- Worcestershire sauce adds depth but can be substituted with soy sauce for a different twist.
- To make this dish gluten-free, ensure the Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free or substitute accordingly.
