Ingredients

  • 1.5-2 lbs flank steak (sirloin steak or ground beef will also work)
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped (any color)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4-6 slices provolone cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried marjoram
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp Montreal steak seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bell peppers and diced onion, cooking until they are tender and softened, about 5 minutes. Then stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, dried marjoram, dried oregano, and Montreal steak seasoning (if using).
  3. Step 3: Add the steak pieces to the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the steak and veggies, then pour in the Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through to your preference, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: When the steak is nearly done, lay the slices of provolone cheese over the top of the skillet mixture. Remove the skillet from heat and cover with a lid to let the cheese melt, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • Try different cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar for a unique flavor twist.
  • Use ground beef instead of steak for a quicker, budget-friendly option.
  • Add mushrooms or jalapeños to the skillet for extra flavor and texture.
  • If you like a little spice, toss in crushed red pepper flakes with the seasonings.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through, being careful not to overcook the steak to keep it tender.

How to Serve

A white bowl filled with three main layers: the bottom layer is light brown rice, the middle layer contains mixed sautéed vegetables including orange bell peppers, green bell peppers, and translucent white onions, and the top layer consists of thin slices of cooked brown beef mixed with melted white cheese strands. A silver fork with an ornate handle rests inside the bowl, spearing some beef and vegetables. The bowl is set on a white marbled surface, near wooden salt and pepper shakers and a green checkered cloth. Behind it, part of a white pan with more beef and vegetables is visible.
