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 needed.

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, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

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.

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.

FAQs

Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?

Yes, ground turkey or chicken can be used as a leaner alternative, though the flavor will be milder. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Is this recipe low-carb friendly?

Absolutely. Using cauliflower rice keeps this dish low in carbs while maintaining the satisfying texture of a cheesesteak bowl.
