Homemade Philly Cheesesteak Skillet

This skillet dinner is pure comfort food! This fuss-free recipe calls for quickly cooking up all your favorite cheesesteak ingredients in a skillet and serving it it up for dinner. While we all know and love a cheesesteak sandwich, this is a lower carb way of serving up all those same flavors. This dinner is light on the cooking, but heavy on the flavor. This family favorite can be served as, or if you’d like to bulk it up, you can serve it with white rice or cauliflower rice.

Ingredients Needed

• Steak (Top Sirloin, Ribeye or Skirt Steak)
• Mushrooms
• Bell Peppers
• Onion
• Salt + Pepper + Garlic Powder
• Provolone Cheese (or Mozzarella)

Tips for Slicing Steak

This recipe calls for a whole steak, instead of shaved steak. It can be tricky to slice it thinly but we have a simple trick:

Place the steak in the freezer for 15 minutes and then slice the steak against the grain as thinly as possible. You want it to be chilled enough that it slices without squishing, but not frozen so that it’s difficult to cut.

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Skillet

Start by searing the thinly sliced steak on both sides. Make sure you get some good caramelization on it for flavor. Next, remove the steak from the skillet and add in the mushrooms. Cook until all the moisture has evaporated from them.

Next add in peppers, onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder and water. At this point you want to scrap up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and let cook for 6-8 minutes until the vegetables are starting to soften and the water has evaporated.

Add back in the steak and cook until heated through, and then add in the cheese. Cook until melty and delicious.

How to Serve

This can very happily be served just as is! That will make it a low-carb meal. To bulk it up a bit more, you can add cauliflower rice.

Alternatively it can be serve with white rice as well.

Or if you’re feeling traditional, stick it in a toasty baguette or soft roll!
