Let’s Get Cooking: Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep Like a Pro

1. First, slice your sirloin steak as thinly as possible. Partially freezing the steak for about 30 minutes makes this much easier!
2. Next, prepare your veggies by thinly slicing the green bell pepper and onion. If you’re using mushrooms, slice those too.
3. If you’re using cauliflower rice or rice, cook it according to package directions.

Sizzling Steak Time

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
2. Add the sliced steak to the pan in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
3. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Don’t overcook it, or it will be tough!
5. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.

Veggies Get Their Turn

1. Add the sliced green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms (if using) to the same skillet.
2. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
3. If the pan seems dry, add a little more olive oil.

Cheesy Goodness

1. Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables.
2. Top with provolone cheese slices.
3. Cover the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey. If you want to use cheese sauce, drizzle it over the mixture instead.

Build Your Bowl, Build Your Dreams

1. In a bowl, layer your base of choice (cauliflower rice, rice, or lettuce).
2. Top with the steak and vegetable mixture.
3. Add your favorite toppings, such as banana peppers, cherry peppers, hot sauce, or chopped parsley.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Bowl!

Tips & Tricks for Philly Cheesesteak Bowl Perfection

• Thin is In: The key to an authentic Philly Cheesesteak experience is thinly sliced steak. Ask your butcher to slice it for you, or partially freeze the steak and slice it yourself using a sharp knife.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Overcrowding the pan will lower the temperature and cause the steak to steam instead of sear. Work in batches to ensure each piece gets a nice, even sear.
• Customize Your Cheese: Provolone is the classic choice, but feel free to use your favorite cheese. White American, cheddar, or even a creamy cheese sauce would be delicious.
• Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables for a little kick, or drizzle with your favorite hot sauce.
• Prep Ahead: Save time by prepping the vegetables and cooking the rice or cauliflower rice ahead of time.

Level Up Your Bowl: Variations and Add-Ins

These Philly Cheesesteak Bowls are a fantastic blank canvas for your culinary creativity! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños to the vegetables for a fiery twist.
• Mediterranean Flair: Incorporate crumbled feta cheese, olives, and a drizzle of olive oil for a Mediterranean-inspired bowl.
• Creamy Dreamy: Top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a tangy and cooling contrast.
• Cheesesteak Pizza Bowl: Add some tomato sauce and pizza seasoning for a pizza-inspired twist!
