# Instructions:
01 -
Slice 1 large yellow onion, 1 large green bell pepper, and 8 oz cremini mushrooms thinly. Cook 24 oz frozen riced cauliflower according to package directions until tender, then set aside. This preps your hearty base for the Philly Cheesesteak Bowls: Low Carb, High Protein Dinner.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a separate bowl and set aside.
03 -
Add the remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil to the same skillet and increase heat to high. Add 1.5 lbs thinly shaved beef steak in a single layer. Season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes, breaking it up, until browned.
04 -
Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through. This forms the delicious core of your Philly Cheesesteak Bowls: Low Carb, High Protein Dinner.
05 -
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 2 oz softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 8 slices provolone cheese, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
06 -
Divide the cooked riced cauliflower evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each with a generous portion of the hot beef and vegetable mixture. Drizzle the warm, creamy cheese sauce generously over the top of each bowl.
07 -
Garnish your Philly Cheesesteak Bowls: Low Carb, High Protein Dinner with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley and an optional 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Serve immediately and enjoy this satisfying meal.
# Notes:
01 -
For an even richer cheese sauce, consider adding a slice or two of white American cheese along with the provolone.
02 -
The beef and vegetable mixture can be prepped ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before assembling.
03 -
Adjust the red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level, or omit them entirely. A dash of your favorite hot sauce also works well.
04 -
If riced cauliflower isn't your preference, steamed broccoli florets or a bed of mixed greens make excellent low-carb alternatives.
