# Instructions:
01 -
Add 2 cups long-grain white rice and 3 3/4 cups low-sodium beef broth to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes until the broth is fully absorbed and rice is fluffy. Set aside.
02 -
Pat 1 1/2 lbs shaved ribeye steak dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the steak with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to coat every piece evenly.
03 -
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 large thinly sliced yellow onion, 1 sliced green bell pepper, and 1 sliced red bell pepper. Cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and cook 1 more minute.
04 -
Push the pepper and onion mixture to the side of the skillet and increase heat to high. Add the seasoned shaved ribeye in a single layer and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Fold the peppers and onions back into the steak and mix together.
05 -
For the best Philly Cheesesteak Bowls | Meal Prep & High Protein, reduce heat to low and lay 6 oz sliced provolone cheese directly over the steak and pepper mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 1–2 minutes until gooey and fully melted over the filling.
06 -
Divide the cooked beef broth rice evenly among 4 meal prep containers or bowls. Top each portion generously with the cheesy steak, pepper, and onion mixture. These Philly Cheesesteak Bowls | Meal Prep & High Protein are perfectly portioned for a satisfying, protein-packed meal throughout the week.
07 -
Finish each bowl with a sprinkle of 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve your Philly Cheesesteak Bowls | Meal Prep & High Protein immediately while hot, or let cool completely before sealing containers for meal prep storage.
# Notes:
01 -
🥩 Steak Tip: For the easiest thin slicing, place your ribeye in the freezer for 20–30 minutes before cutting. This firms up the meat so you can slice it paper-thin — or simply ask your butcher for pre-shaved ribeye to save time.
02 -
🧀 Cheese Swap: Provolone is classic, but white American cheese or Cheez Whiz are both authentic Philly-style alternatives. White American melts even creamier and is a great option if you want an ultra-gooey finish on your bowls.
03 -
🍚 Meal Prep Storage: Store fully assembled Philly Cheesesteak Bowls | Meal Prep & High Protein in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2–3 minutes, adding a small splash of beef broth before reheating to keep the rice moist and the steak tender.
04 -
🌶️ Customization: Boost the veggie content by adding sliced mushrooms to the pepper and onion sauté in Step 3. For a lower-carb version, swap the white rice base for cauliflower rice or a bed of fresh arugula — both pair beautifully with the savory steak filling.
