Ingredients

Scale

For the Juicy Beef

  • 1 ½ lbs (680 g) sirloin steak or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Sautéed Peppers & Onions

  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowl Base

  • 3 cups cooked white rice or cauliflower rice
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for rice flavor)
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cheese Layer

  • 1 ½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella (or 6 slices provolone cheese)

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Garlic aioli drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice Base: Cook white rice according to package instructions if not already prepared. Stir in butter and a pinch of salt while the rice is still warm. Set aside and keep warm until ready to assemble the bowls.
  2. Sauté the Peppers & Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the sliced green and red bell peppers, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Juicy Beef: In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Season the beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through. Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet and toss to combine.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat to medium-low. Evenly sprinkle the shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese over the beef and vegetable mixture, or lay provolone slices on top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the warm rice into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cheesy beef, peppers, and onions mixture. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of garlic aioli as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty Philly cheesesteak bowl.

Notes

  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to white rice.
  • Thinly slice the beef to ensure quick and even cooking.
  • Choose provolone cheese for a classic Philly cheesesteak flavor or mozzarella for a milder melt.
  • Prepare the rice and sautéed vegetables ahead of time to speed up meal assembly.
  • Add garlic aioli or hot sauce as a garnish to enhance the flavor.
