Philly Cheesesteak Bowls Recipe
Introduction
Philly Cheesesteak Bowls offer all the classic flavors of a cheesesteak sandwich without the bread. This dish is a low-carb, satisfying meal that combines savory ground beef, sautéed vegetables, and melted provolone cheese for a comforting, easy-to-make dinner.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 green bell peppers, diced
- 8 mushrooms, diced
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked through, drain the excess fat, then add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 4–5 minutes until most of the liquid has absorbed. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Step 2: Add olive oil to the skillet and heat for about one minute over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Step 3: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables evenly.
- Step 4: To serve, divide the mixture into 4 bowls and top each with a slice of provolone cheese. Allow the cheese to melt before eating. Alternatively, spread the cheese evenly over the entire skillet and let it melt before dividing into servings, which works well for smaller portions.
- Step 5: For a traditional twist, spoon some of the mixture onto toasted, buttered buns or hoagie rolls. Enjoy as a tasty sandwich.
Tips & Variations
- Use 90% lean ground beef for a good balance of flavor and fat.
- Try adding different cheeses like Cheddar or American for variety.
- If you prefer spicier dishes, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or hot sauce to the vegetables.
- Serve with a side of pickles or spicy mustard for added tang.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. Add a splash of beef broth when reheating to keep the mixture moist.
