# Instructions:
01 -
Thinly slice 1 lb sirloin steak against the grain. Thinly slice 1 large yellow onion and 1 large green bell pepper. Slice 8 oz cremini mushrooms and mince 2 cloves garlic. This careful prep ensures a smooth cooking process for your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Bowls.
02 -
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and cremini mushrooms. Sauté for 7-9 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and 1 tsp onion powder.
03 -
Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the thinly sliced sirloin steak to the empty side. Cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking it apart, until browned. Stir in the minced 2 cloves garlic and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Combine with the vegetables.
04 -
In a small saucepan, combine 4 oz shredded provolone cheese, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and smooth. Keep warm for your Philly Cheesesteak Bowls: Low-Carb Meal Prep Delight.
05 -
In a separate large pan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 16 oz (1 bag) frozen cauliflower rice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
06 -
Stir 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) into the steak and veggie mixture. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper as needed. This final seasoning ensures your Philly Cheesesteak Bowls: Low-Carb Meal Prep Delight are perfectly flavored.
07 -
Divide the cooked cauliflower rice among 4 meal prep bowls. Top each with an equal portion of the steak and vegetable mixture. Drizzle generously with the warm provolone cheese sauce. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped.
# Notes:
01 -
For easier slicing, partially freeze the sirloin steak for 20-30 minutes before cutting. This helps achieve very thin, even slices.
02 -
Store individual Philly Cheesesteak Bowls in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
03 -
Feel free to swap provolone for mozzarella or a blend of white cheddar and Monterey Jack for a different cheesy flavor profile.
04 -
For an extra kick, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce or a sprinkle of extra red pepper flakes just before serving.
