Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (454 g) thinly sliced ribeye steak (or sirloin), cut into strips
- 8 ounces (226 g) mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 6–8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Generously season sliced steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then sear in hot olive oil over medium-high heat until beautifully caramelized and browned. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- Vegetable Sautéing: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until they become translucent and tender. Introduce minced garlic and cook briefly to release aromatic flavors.
- Flavor Fusion: Reintroduce seared steak into the vegetable medley, drizzle with Worcestershire sauce, sprinkle Italian seasoning, and gently integrate all ingredients, allowing flavors to harmonize.
- Cheese Melting: Lower heat and strategically layer provolone cheese across the skillet’s contents. Cover and allow cheese to melt smoothly, creating a luxurious, creamy coating over the meat and vegetables.
- Plating: Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, either as a standalone skillet dish or nestled within warm rolls for a classic Philly cheesesteak experience.
Notes
- Select thin-cut ribeye or sirloin for tender, flavorful results and slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Use medium-high heat to achieve perfect caramelization without burning the meat or vegetables, watching skillet temperature carefully.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and seasonings gradually to build depth, allowing each ingredient to release its unique flavor profile.
- Use low heat when adding cheese to prevent scorching and ensure smooth, even melting across the entire skillet.
