Thinly slice 1 large yellow onion and 1 green bell pepper. Mince 2 cloves garlic. Ensure 1 1/2 lbs thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye steak is ready. This initial prep sets the stage for your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Bowl: High Protein, Low Carb Dinner.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced 1 large yellow onion and 1 green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
03 -
Add the 1 1/2 lbs thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye steak to the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Season with 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 5-8 minutes.
04 -
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 8 slices provolone cheese, 2 oz cream cheese, and 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. This rich sauce is essential for your Philly Cheesesteak Bowl: High Protein, Low Carb Dinner.
05 -
In a separate large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in 8 oz baby spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
06 -
Divide the wilted 8 oz baby spinach and 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl generously with the cooked steak and vegetable mixture. Drizzle the creamy cheese sauce over everything. Serve immediately and enjoy your satisfying Philly Cheesesteak Bowl: High Protein, Low Carb Dinner!
# Notes:
01 -
Substitution Tip: For a different flavor profile, try using cheddar or mozzarella cheese in the sauce instead of provolone. You can also add a pinch of cayenne for a subtle kick.
02 -
Meal Prep Friendly: Cook the steak and vegetable mixture, and the spinach and mushrooms separately. Store in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days. Reheat and make the cheese sauce fresh for best results.
03 -
Serving Suggestion: Enhance your bowl with optional toppings like pickled jalapeños, a dash of hot sauce, or a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives for added flavor and texture.
04 -
Steak Slicing Hack: For easier, super-thin steak slices, place the sirloin or ribeye in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before slicing against the grain.
