Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak)
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon zesty seasoning blend (smoked paprika, chili powder, crushed red pepper)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4–6 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • Optional toppings: chopped parsley, banana peppers, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until softened and slightly charred. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add another tablespoon of oil if needed and cook the sliced steak. Season with salt, pepper, and zesty seasoning. Cook for 4–6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Add minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook for another minute.
  5. Return the cooked peppers and onions to the skillet and mix everything together.
  6. Top with slices of cheese and cover with a lid or foil for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese melts.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with optional toppings like parsley or banana peppers.

Notes

Use ribeye for a classic cheesesteak flavor or sirloin/flank for a leaner option.Freeze steak for 15–20 minutes before slicing to make thin cuts easier.Customize spice level by adjusting seasoning and omitting crushed red pepper if needed.Make it keto-friendly by skipping any bread and serving over vegetables or cauliflower rice.
