Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb / 454 grams) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
Cheese and Dairy:
- 8 ounces (8 oz / 227 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
Liquid and Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Topping:
- 4 slices French bread, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, preparing a casserole dish for a mouthwatering Philly cheese steak transformation.
- Sear ribeye steak in a hot skillet with butter, cooking for 3-4 minutes until achieving a rich golden-brown exterior. Season generously with salt and pepper, then set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, releasing their sweet aromatics.
- Create a creamy sauce by introducing beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and cream cheese, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and velvety.
- Reintroduce the cooked steak into the skillet, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated with the luscious sauce.
- Blend half of the provolone and mozzarella cheeses into the mixture, allowing them to melt and create a rich, stringy texture.
- Pour the decadent mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent flavor distribution.
- Generously sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, and optionally scatter cubed French bread for added crunch.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese turns golden and bubbles with appetizing intensity, signaling the casserole is ready to serve.
Notes
- Slice meat against the grain for maximum tenderness, ensuring each bite is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to help it blend smoothly into the sauce without lumps.
- Consider low-carb alternatives by replacing French bread with cauliflower crumbles or crushed pork rinds for a keto-friendly version.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking and reduce overall kitchen stress, making this hearty dish easier to assemble.
