While rice cooks, thinly slice 1 lb sirloin steak, 1 large yellow onion, and 1 green bell pepper. In a bowl, toss the sirloin steak with 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
03 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced 1 large yellow onion and 1 green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
04 -
Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned 1 lb sirloin steak in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
05 -
Return the sautéed 1 large yellow onion and 1 green bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked 1 lb sirloin steak. Mix well. Sprinkle 6 oz shredded provolone cheese evenly over the steak and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey, perfect for your High Protein Philly Cheesesteak Rice Bowls | Meal Prep.

Divide the cooked 1 1/2 cups brown rice among 4 meal prep containers or serving bowls. Top each with a generous portion of the cheesy sirloin steak and vegetable mixture. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for a vibrant finish to your High Protein Philly Cheesesteak Rice Bowls | Meal Prep.
# Notes:
01 -
For easier thin slicing of the sirloin steak, partially freeze it for 20-30 minutes before cutting.

Feel free to substitute provolone with white American cheese or even a cheese sauce for a more authentic "whiz" experience.
