Introduction

This Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Bowl offers all the rich, savory flavors of a classic cheesesteak in a lighter, low-carb format. Packed with tender beef, sautéed peppers, onions, and gooey provolone, it’s a satisfying meal that comes together quickly.

A wooden bowl holds a colorful layered dish with three main parts. The bottom layer is white rice, peeking through in two sections on the right and under the other layers. On the left side, cooked ground beef mixed with green bell peppers and small bits of red pepper sits atop the rice, covered generously with melted yellow and white cheese sprinkled with green herbs. At the top, sliced bright red bell peppers add a fresh, crisp layer. The bowl is on a surface with a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb 90/10 lean ground beef
2 large green bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
4 slices provolone cheese
2 cups cooked cauliflower rice or white rice

Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Step 2: Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4: Reduce the heat to low. Layer the provolone cheese slices evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for 60 seconds or until the cheese melts completely.
Step 5: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice or white rice into four bowls. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture over the rice and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce when adding garlic and Worcestershire sauce.
Swap provolone with mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
Use ground turkey or chicken as a leaner meat alternative.
Serve over sweet potato rice for added sweetness and nutrition.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat or microwave until warmed through, adding a splash of water to keep the mixture moist.
