Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef (like sirloin or flank steak)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1 cup shredded low-fat cheese (like provolone or mozzarella)

Optional Toppings

- avocado Adds creaminess.
- fresh parsley For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions and set aside.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for about 3-5 minutes, until they turn tender and slightly caramelized.
- Push the veggies to the side of the skillet and add the sliced meat to the center. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked thoroughly, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mix the cooked veggies with the meat, allowing the flavors to meld for 2 more minutes.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the meat and vegetable mixture, covering the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Assembly
- Gather your cooked rice or quinoa into bowls, topping it generously with the cheesesteak mixture.
Serving
- Add your favorite toppings, such as sliced jalapeños or creamy avocado.
Notes
For Halal alternatives, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. Cook rice and sauté veggies simultaneously to save time. Avoid overcooking meat for the best texture.
