Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
• 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
• Chopped parsley (for garnish)
• Cooked cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or rice (for serving)

Directions

1. Slice the steak as thinly as possible against the grain using a sharp knife.
2. Look for the direction of the muscle fibers and cut perpendicular to them.
3. Slice onions and bell peppers into thin strips.
4. Mince garlic.
5. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
6. Ensure the pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles and evaporates within 2-3 seconds.
7. Add sliced steak in a single layer, season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
8. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned with caramelized edges. The internal temperature should reach 130-135°F for medium-rare. Remove steak and set aside.
9. In the same pan, add onions and bell peppers.
10. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
11. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
12. Divide cooked cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or regular rice into serving bowls.
13. Top with the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables.
14. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the warm mixture and let it melt naturally from residual heat.
15. For extra bubbly cheese, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
16. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
