Ingredients
To create this delectable Low Carb Philly Cheesesteak Bowl, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef (grass-fed if available)
- 1/2 cup lower sodium beef broth
- 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 medium onions
- 3 green bell peppers
- 5-6 mushrooms (halved)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Feel free to swap out the green bell peppers for red or yellow ones, depending on your taste preference. They will add a slightly different sweetness that complements the whole dish beautifully.
Directions
Step 1: Brown the Beef
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Make sure to break it apart as it cooks.
Step 2: Add Flavor
Once browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, cooking until the liquid is absorbed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Melt the Cheese
Turn off the heat and layer the provolone slices over the beef. Cover the pan for a few minutes to let the cheese melt perfectly.
Step 4: Prepare the Veggies
While the cheese is melting, cut the peppers and onions into large pieces and toss them with halved mushrooms in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them over medium heat, turning as needed, until they are crisp-tender. Alternatively, roast them in a 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble the Bowls
Divide the grilled veggie mixture among four bowls, topping each with an equal portion of the cheesy beef. Now it’s time to dig in!
