Ingredients

For the Steak

1 pound Ribeye or Sirloin Steak Choose ribeye for tenderness; sirloin is a budget-friendly alternative.
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce Adds umami flavor; soy sauce can be used as a gluten-free alternative.
to taste Salt & Black Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to taste for your perfect flavor.

For the Vegetables

1 medium Onion Adds sweetness and depth of flavor; substitute with shallots for a milder taste.
1 medium Green Bell Pepper Offers a fresh crunch; can swap with yellow or orange bell peppers for a sweeter flavor.
1 medium Red Bell Pepper Enhances color and adds sweetness; can be replaced with more green bell peppers if desired.
2 cloves Garlic Adds aromatic richness; use garlic powder as a substitute in a pinch.

For Cooking

2 tablespoons Olive Oil Used for sautéing the steak and vegetables; can substitute with avocado oil for a higher smoke point.

For Topping

1 cup Shredded Provolone or Mozzarella Cheese Provides creaminess and a rich finish; use any melty cheese like cheddar for varied flavor.
1 tablespoon Chopped Parsley For garnish and freshness; omit if not available.

Equipment

large cast iron skillet

Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Start by slicing the ribeye or sirloin steak against the grain into thin strips, ensuring maximum tenderness. This should take about 5 minutes.
Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes until hot. Once heated, add a splash of olive oil, swirling it around the pan until it shimmers.
Add the steak strips to the hot skillet in a single layer, seasoning with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes without stirring, allowing a golden crust to form.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers, allowing the residual oil and flavor to enhance their taste. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until they are softened and slightly blistered.
Divide your base—cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or regular rice—among serving bowls. Layer the sautéed steak and vegetables atop the base.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the steak and vegetable mixture. Cover the bowls and allow the heat to melt the cheese for about 1-2 minutes.
