Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Cheese
- 1 lb 90/10 lean ground beef
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Vegetables
- 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
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Base
- 2 cups cooked cauliflower rice or white rice
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for about 6-8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add flavorings: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the flavors meld together.
- 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 let the cheese melt for about 60 seconds.
- Assemble the bowl: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice or white rice evenly into four bowls. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture over the rice and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can substitute cauliflower rice with white rice or brown rice based on your preference or dietary needs.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the vegetables.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the provolone cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Using 90/10 lean ground beef helps reduce excess fat while maintaining flavor.
- Ensure to stir frequently while cooking vegetables to avoid burning and to achieve even caramelization.
