Ingredients

For the steak and vegetables:

– 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

For the rice bowl:

– 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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
