Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 pounds steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 cup green bell peppers, sliced into strips
- 1 cup red bell peppers, sliced into strips
- 1 cup small onion, sliced into strips
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese
- Provolone cheese, sliced
- 0.5 cup (120 milliliters) beef broth
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, preparing a casserole dish for a hearty meat-based meal.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high temperature, searing thinly sliced steak until richly browned and caramelized.
- Drain excess fat from the meat, then generously season with garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder for robust flavor.
- Remove seared steak from the skillet, setting aside while maintaining its warmth.
- In the same skillet, sauté bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions until they become tender and translucent.
- Introduce cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth to the vegetable mixture, stirring continuously until the cream cheese melts completely and creates a smooth, cohesive sauce.
- Reintegrate the cooked steak into the skillet, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined and evenly distributed.
- Carefully transfer the entire mixture into the prepared casserole dish, creating an even layer.
- Strategically arrange provolone cheese slices across the entire surface, covering the casserole completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for the cheese to become fully melted and slightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and sauce to thicken.
Notes
- Slice steak super thin for melt-in-your-mouth texture and faster cooking.
- Pat meat dry before cooking to achieve perfect golden-brown searing without excess moisture.
- Use ribeye or sirloin cuts for maximum flavor and tenderness in this comfort dish.
- Choose low-fat cream cheese and provolone for a lighter version without compromising taste.
