🥩 Steak and Cheese Skillet Recipe

🔪 Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) steak, thinly sliced (ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak work great)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a kick)

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 cup shredded provolone or cheddar cheese

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Optional: hoagie rolls or toasted bread, if you want to make it a sandwich-style dish

🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Steak:

   • If not already sliced, thinly slice your steak against the grain. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using.

2. Cook the Veggies:

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Add onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until soft and slightly caramelized.

   • Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

   • Remove veggies from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sear the Steak:

   • Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted and hot, add the steak in a single layer.

   • Sear for 1-2 minutes per side (depending on how thin your slices are), just until browned and cooked through.

   • Add the veggies back to the skillet and stir everything together.

4. Add Cheese:

   • Sprinkle the shredded cheeses evenly over the steak and veggie mix.

   • Cover the skillet with a lid (or foil) and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve:

   • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Scoop it into rolls for steak and cheese sandwiches, or serve straight from the skillet with a fork.

• Mushroom Fan? Add sliced mushrooms with the onions and peppers.

• Low Carb Option: Serve it as-is or over cauliflower rice or a bed of greens.
