Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips.
- If beef is not pre-sliced, freeze for 20–30 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, sauté for 6–8 minutes until softened and caramelized.
- Push the veggies to one side and add the thinly sliced beef, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Sear the beef for 1–2 minutes without stirring.
- Continue cooking until beef is browned and cooked through, then combine vegetables and beef together.
- Sprinkle the provolone cheese over the mixture and cover the skillet until cheese melts.
- Serve over cauliflower rice or cooked rice, adding optional toppings as desired.
Notes
For best results, slice beef thinly against the grain and avoid overcrowding the pan. Instead of rushing the cheese melting, let it rest under a lid for a minute.
