Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound thin-sliced steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked white rice (or brown rice)
- ½ cup shredded provolone, mozzarella, or white American cheese
- ½ cup cubed crusty bread (baguette or ciabatta)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss cubed bread with olive oil or butter and garlic powder. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Add sliced steak, season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Stir to combine with the vegetables.
- Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the steak and vegetable mixture. Cover with a lid or foil for 1 to 2 minutes until melted.
- Scoop rice into serving bowls. Top with the cheesesteak mixture. Sprinkle with toasted bread cubes and fresh parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
- Slice steak thinly across the grain for maximum tenderness.
- You can use pre-cooked rice to save time.
- Day-old bread works best for toasting into crunchy cubes.
- Add mushrooms or spicy peppers for extra flavor.
- To make it cheesier, stir in a tablespoon of cream or use a drizzle of cheese sauce before serving.
