High-Protein Philly Cheesesteak Bowls
Get the flavor of a classic Philly cheesesteak in an easy meal-prep bowl. These High-Protein Philly Cheesesteak Bowls combine lean steak, sautéed peppers and onions, rice or potatoes, and reduced-fat provolone for approximately 40–45 grams of protein per serving.
Ingredients – Makes 4 Bowls
- 1 1/2 pounds lean sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 slices reduced-fat provolone cheese or about 4 ounces shredded provolone
- 3 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice, or roasted potatoes
- Optional: mushrooms, parsley or red pepper flakes
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the steak: Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Cook in batches for about 2–4 minutes until browned, then remove from the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the remaining oil, peppers and onion. Cook for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Combine: Return the steak to the skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce and toss everything together until hot.
- Add the cheese: Reduce the heat and top the steak and vegetables with provolone. Cover briefly until the cheese melts.
- Build the bowls: Divide rice or roasted potatoes among four meal-prep containers. Top evenly with the cheesy steak, peppers and onions.
