Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by thinly slicing flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch strips. Season steak pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure skillet is hot before adding meat to achieve proper searing.
- Add sliced steak to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meat is browned and just cooked through. Remove steak from pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare cauliflower rice by either using pre-riced cauliflower or grating fresh cauliflower. Quickly sauté cauliflower rice in a separate pan for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Return cooked steak to the skillet with peppers and onions. Toss ingredients together to combine flavors.
- Divide cauliflower rice among four serving bowls as the base.
- Top cauliflower rice with steak, pepper, and onion mixture.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese over the hot mixture, allowing cheese to slightly melt from the residual heat.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with fresh chopped parsley or green onions.
Tips
- Slice Against the Grain: For the most tender steak, always slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch strips. This technique helps break down the muscle fibers, resulting in a more enjoyable bite.
- Preheat Your Skillet: Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the steak. A properly heated skillet will give you that perfect sear, locking in the juices and enhancing the flavor.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: If your skillet is too crowded, the steak may steam instead of sear. If necessary, cook the steak in batches to achieve that delicious caramelized crust.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables to the sauté mix, such as mushrooms or zucchini, for added flavor and nutrition.
- Make it Cheesy: For an extra cheesy experience, consider adding more provolone or even a sprinkle of mozzarella on top before serving.
- Serve Hot: Enjoy your cheesesteak bowls immediately while they’re warm, as the residual heat will help melt the cheese just right.
- Garnish for Freshness: A sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or green onions not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the flavor profile of your dish.
