How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Bowls (Overview)

So, here’s the lowdown: You’ll start by slicing your steak ultra-thin—think deli-style. Then, sauté those delicious bell peppers and onions until they’re super soft. Finally, throw it all together and melt some cheese on top.

Pro tip: Don’t skip toasting the garlic — it makes all the difference in flavor! That aromatic goodness is what separates a “meh” meal from a “wow” one.

How to Serve Philly Cheesesteak Bowls

Serving these bowls is where the creativity comes in! Picture a colorful array with the golden steak, bright peppers, and melty cheese cascading over a base of creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy cauliflower rice. The aroma wafts through the air, and honestly, you might just want to dive right in! Add a sprig of parsley for that pop of green — it’s eye candy for your taste buds!

How to Store Philly Cheesesteak Bowls

Leftovers, anyone? These bowls store well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just pop them in an airtight container. If you want to save them for later, freeze for up to a month. When ready to eat, gently reheat in the microwave, or for extra cheesiness, warm them on the stovetop with a splash of water.

Tips to Make Philly Cheesesteak Bowls

1. Slice the steak while it’s slightly frozen — this makes it way easier to get those paper-thin slices.
2. Experiment with cheeses; swap provolone for cheddar or even blue cheese for a unique twist.
3. Don’t be shy with seasonings! Play around with spices to personalize your dish.
4. Make it ahead of time and just warm it up when you’re ready to eat. Perfect for busy weeknights!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try tossing in mushrooms for an earthy flavor, or make it vegan by substituting the steak with marinated tempeh or seitan and using vegan cheese. The flavor combinations are endless!

FAQs
