Equipment
- 1 Large heavy skillet or cast iron pan For proper browning and heat retention
- 1 Sharp knife To slice steak paper-thin against the grain
- 1 cutting board For prepping vegetables and meat
- 1 Tongs or spatula For flipping steak and mixing ingredients
- 1 paper towels To pat steak dry for better browning
Ingredients
- 1 lb ribeye or flank steak thinly sliced
- 2 large yellow onions sliced
- 2 bell peppers any color, sliced
- 8 oz button mushrooms sliced
- 6 oz provolone cheese sliced
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Slice steak against the grain as thin as you can manage. Season aggressively with salt and pepper 15 minutes before cooking. Bring to room temperature while prepping other ingredients. Pat completely dry with paper towels for better browning. Have everything ready because the cooking happens fast.
- Heat oil in large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steak in single layer, work in batches if necessary. Let it brown undisturbed for 2-3 minutes - resist poking at it. Flip once and cook 1-2 minutes more until just done. Remove immediately with any accumulated juices.
- Add onions to the same pan with all those browned bits. Cook 4-5 minutes until edges start browning and softening. Add peppers and mushrooms in even layer. Season with salt and pepper, then leave them alone. Cook 6-8 minutes for proper caramelization - no stirring allowed.
- Add cauliflower rice to vegetables and combine thoroughly. Cook 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy. Return steak and any juices to pan, toss gently. Top with cheese and cover briefly to encourage melting. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving your philly cheesesteak bowl.
Notes
The real magic of this philly cheesesteak bowl lies in the sequence - browning the steak first creates fond that flavors everything else, while the cauliflower rice base keeps you satisfied without the carb crash. Don't rush the caramelization process - patience here creates the deep, complex flavors that make this bowl irresistible.
