Description
A comforting and delicious Philly Cheesesteak Bowl featuring seasoned ground beef, sautéed vegetables, and a creamy cheese sauce served over warm rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1–2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Season generously with salt and pepper, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon and drain excess fat.
- In the same skillet, add butter and reduce heat to medium. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour and minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute to create a smooth roux that smells fragrant.
- Slowly pour in the half-and-half while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Once all liquid is incorporated and mixture is smooth, remove from heat. Stir in shredded cheddar, ground mustard, salt, and pepper until cheese melts completely.
- Make sure your rice is warm and fluffy. If using leftover rice, reheat it gently in the microwave or a covered pot with a splash of water.
- Divide warm rice evenly among four bowls. Top each with seasoned ground beef and sautéed peppers and onions. Drizzle generously with the warm cheese sauce and serve immediately while everything is hot.
Notes
- For a healthier option, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- You can customize the vegetables to your preference, adding mushrooms or zucchini for extra flavor and nutrition.
- This dish can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free flour for the cheese sauce.
