Equipment

  • Large skillet or cast-iron pan
  • Cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Spatula
  • Lid for skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 cups cooked cauliflower rice
  • Optional: Banana peppers, sliced
  • Optional: Cherry peppers, sliced
  • Optional: Hot sauce
  • Optional: Chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Slice the sirloin steak as thinly as possible. Partially freezing the steak for about 30 minutes makes this easier.
  • Prepare the vegetables by thinly slicing the green bell pepper and onion. Slice the mushrooms if using.
  • Cook cauliflower rice according to package directions.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced steak to the pan in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
  • Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Do not overcook.
  • Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the sliced green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms (if using) to the same skillet.
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized. Add more oil if needed.
  • Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables.
  • Top with provolone cheese slices.
  • Cover the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey. Alternatively, drizzle with cheese sauce.
  • In a bowl, layer your base of choice (cauliflower rice).
  • Top with the steak and vegetable mixture.
  • Add your favorite toppings, such as banana peppers, cherry peppers, hot sauce, or chopped parsley.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For an authentic Philly Cheesesteak experience, ensure the steak is thinly sliced. Customize the cheese to your preference. Spice it up with red pepper flakes or hot sauce. Prep the vegetables and cauliflower rice ahead of time to save time. Try adding jalapenos for a spicy kick or feta cheese and olives for a Mediterranean twist.
