Instructions

  • Marinate the Steak

    • In a large bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, baking soda, 2 cloves of minced garlic, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and water.

    • Slice the steak against the grain as thin as possible (about โ…› inch thick).

    • Add the steak to the marinade and let sit for 15-30 minutes while prepping the other ingredients.

  • Prepare the Ingredients

    • Slice the bell peppers and onion.

    • Grate the jack cheese and cube the cream cheese.

  • Cook the Steak

    • Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    • Drain and discard the marinade from the steak.

    • Cook the steak in batches until browned on all sides (the baking soda may create some foaming, but it wonโ€™t affect the flavor).

    • Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.

  • Sautรฉ the Vegetables

    • Add the remaining butter to the skillet.

    • Sautรฉ the bell peppers and onions for about 5 minutes until softened.

    • Add the remaining garlic and sautรฉ for 1 more minute.

  • Make the Cheese Sauce

    • Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and heavy cream to the skillet.

    • Stir until melted, then bring to a low simmer.

    • Stir in the grated jack cheese until fully melted.

    • Remove from heat and add the cooked steak, stirring to combine.

  • Assemble & Bake

    • Transfer the steak mixture to a greased casserole dish.

    • Layer provolone cheese slices over the top.

    • Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

  • Serve & Enjoy

    • Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.

    • Serve hot and enjoy!


Notes

  • Steak Tip: Flank steak works best, but ribeye or sirloin can also be used.

  • Cheese Variations: Use cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda for a different flavor.

  • Low-Carb Option: Serve alone or with cauliflower rice. For a classic Philly Cheesesteak feel, serve with toasted hoagie rolls.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
