Introduction

This Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Bowl is a quick and savory meal that brings the flavors of a classic cheesesteak in a simple, bowl-friendly form. Loaded with tender beef, sautéed peppers, onions, and melted provolone, it’s perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

A brown wooden bowl sits on a white marbled surface, filled with three main layers: at the bottom is a layer of white rice with a fluffy texture, topped by cooked ground beef mixed with sautéed green bell peppers and small bits of tomato, and covered with melted yellow and white cheese sprinkled with chopped green herbs. On one side of the bowl, there is a neat portion of bright red sliced bell peppers, also garnished with chopped herbs. In the blurred background, another similar bowl is partially visible.

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, approximately 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 the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 3: Incorporate 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 is completely melted.
Step 5: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice or white rice into four bowls. Portion the cheesesteak mixture over the base and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a different twist.
Use turkey or chicken ground meat if you prefer a leaner protein option.
Swap cauliflower rice for quinoa or whole-grain rice to boost fiber content.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. If using cauliflower rice, avoid overcooking during reheating to keep texture firm.
