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

  1. 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 needed.
  2. 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.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Reduce the heat to low. Layer 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.
  5. 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

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes to the beef while cooking.
  • Use other cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar if you prefer a different melt and taste.
  • Try swapping the cauliflower rice with quinoa or brown rice for a heartier base.
  • Adding sliced jalapeños can give the dish a nice spicy kick.

Storage

Store leftover cheesesteak mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep cooked rice or cauliflower rice separate if possible to avoid sogginess. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
