Description
Making this Philly cheese beef skillet always feels like bringing a bit of that classic diner experience right into your kitchen, minus the long wait.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced beef. Let it sear without moving it too much at first—this helps develop that rich, browned flavor that makes the dish so satisfying. Cook until the beef is just browned, then remove it from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. As they cook, they soften and become slightly caramelized, filling the kitchen with a savory, slightly sweet aroma. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the beef to the skillet and sprinkle in the salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir everything together so the flavors coat each piece evenly.
- Finally, sprinkle the cheese over the top. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet for a minute or two, just until the cheese melts into a gooey, irresistible layer. This is the moment when everything comes together.
- Serve it hot, straight from the pan, and enjoy every cheesy, savory bite of this Philly cheese beef skillet.
