02 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced green bell pepper and yellow onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside in a bowl.
03 -
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the seasoned 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak to the hot skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. This is key for delicious Philly Cheesesteak Bowls - Low Carb & Ready in 30 Minutes.
04 -
While the steak cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 oz softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup beef broth until smooth and well combined. This creamy base will form the rich, low-carb cheese sauce for your bowls.
05 -
Return the cooked bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the steak. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the steak and vegetables. Lay 6 slices provolone cheese on top. Cover the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
06 -
Divide 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce among 4 serving bowls. Spoon the hot Philly cheesesteak mixture generously over the lettuce in each bowl. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for a vibrant finish to your Philly Cheesesteak Bowls - Low Carb & Ready in 30 Minutes.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and onion powder when seasoning the steak.
02 -
Store leftover cheesesteak mixture separately from the lettuce in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
03 -
Ensure your skillet is very hot before adding the steak to get a good sear and prevent it from steaming.
04 -
For an even richer cheese sauce, you can stir in an additional 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese with the beef broth.
