Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs ribeye steak (thinly sliced) or ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F (175°C), ensuring a consistent temperature for even cooking.
- In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat and sauté onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until they become tender and slightly translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Enhance the vegetable mixture by incorporating minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, stirring thoroughly and allowing the flavors to meld for 2 minutes.
- Create space in the skillet and introduce thinly sliced steak (or ground beef), cooking until the meat achieves a rich, golden-brown color. If using beef broth, deglaze the pan by pouring the liquid and scraping up the caramelized fragments from the bottom.
- Transfer the aromatic steak and vegetable mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading evenly to create a uniform base.
- Layer provolone cheese slices across the top, ensuring complete coverage, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella for additional cheesy depth.
- For a keto-friendly version, whisk eggs with heavy cream in a separate bowl, then gently pour the mixture over the casserole, allowing it to seep between the ingredients.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, watching for the cheese to become golden and bubbling, indicating it’s perfectly cooked.
- Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley and serve immediately while warm, allowing the flavors to shine.
Notes
- Choose lean cuts of beef like sirloin or flank steak for a healthier protein option that keeps the casserole tender and flavorful.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter protein alternative that maintains the classic Philly cheesesteak taste profile.
- Enhance vegetable nutrition by adding extra low-carb veggies like zucchini or spinach to boost overall meal’s vitamin content without changing core flavor.
- Customize cheese selection by mixing provolone with sharp cheddar or pepper jack for a more complex and exciting cheese layer that elevates the entire dish’s taste experience.
