Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 lb thinly sliced beef
- 1 small onion sliced
- 2 bell peppers sliced
- 2 cups button or baby bella mushrooms sliced (optional)
Cheese and Flavorings
- 2 cups shredded provolone or slices
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt or salt + garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a large ovenproof skillet or transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cook the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, garlic salt, and black pepper. Cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of grease in the skillet.
- Cook the vegetables: Add sliced bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine flavors: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and cream cheese. Heat through until the cream cheese melts and forms a sauce, about 3-5 minutes.
- Mix in beef: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Assemble and bake: If your skillet isn’t ovenproof or too small, transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with shredded provolone cheese or slices.
- Bake and broil: Bake for 15 minutes until hot, then broil for 2-3 minutes to get crispy cheese on top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
