Introduction

This Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Bowl is a quick and satisfying dinner that brings the classic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak into a wholesome, low-carb bowl. Packed with tender beef, sautéed peppers, onions, and melted provolone cheese, it’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want a comforting meal without the fuss.

A wooden bowl holds a dish with three main layers. The bottom layer is white rice, fluffy and slightly separated. On one side of the rice are bright red sliced bell peppers, fresh and glossy. On top of the rice in the center is a layer of cooked ground beef mixed with pieces of green bell pepper and mushrooms, all covered with melted yellow and white cheese that looks creamy and slightly gooey. The dish is sprinkled with finely chopped green herbs for a fresh touch. The bowl is placed on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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

2 cups cooked cauliflower rice or white rice

Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 2: Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4: Reduce the heat to low. Place the provolone cheese slices evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 60 seconds.

Step 5: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice or white rice into four bowls. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture over the rice and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use sautéed mushrooms or other favorite veggies like zucchini or spinach to add more texture and nutrients.

Substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor profile.

For a lower-carb option, stick with cauliflower rice instead of white rice.

Add a dash of hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.
