02 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced green bell pepper and yellow onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
03 -
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the 1.5 lbs thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye steak. Season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook for 3-5 minutes, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through.

Return the cooked bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the steak. Stir in 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to combine all ingredients, ensuring the flavors meld together for the ultimate Philly Cheesesteak experience.
06 -
In a separate microwave-safe bowl or skillet, heat 24 oz riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen) according to package directions, or sauté until tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
07 -
Divide the cooked riced cauliflower among 4 meal prep containers or bowls. Top each with an equal portion of the steak and veggie mixture. Drizzle generously with the creamy provolone cheese sauce. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Bowls | High Protein & Low Carb Meal Prep.
# Notes:
01 -
For easier slicing of the sirloin or ribeye, partially freeze the steak for 20-30 minutes before cutting. This helps achieve very thin, even slices crucial for cheesesteak.
02 -
These bowls are perfect for meal prep! Store individual portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave until warmed through.
03 -
For a sharper flavor, substitute half of the provolone with sharp white cheddar in the cheese sauce. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.
04 -
While delicious on its own, a side of sugar-free pickled jalapeños or a simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing would complement these bowls beautifully.
