# What You’ll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 1.5 lbs thinly sliced beef sirloin or ribeye
→ Vegetables
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
04 - 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
05 - 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

# Directions:
01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.

04 - Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese to the vegetables and stir until melted and combined.
05 - Return the cooked beef to the skillet, mixing well with the creamy vegetable mixture.
06 - Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle shredded provolone and mozzarella evenly over the top.
07 - Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
08 - Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
# Top Tips:
01 -
- Every bite delivers that classic cheesesteak flavor without the heavy carbs
- It reheats beautifully and actually tastes better the next day
02 -
- Freezing the beef for 20 minutes before slicing makes it so much easier to get those thin, even cuts
- Pat the beef dry with paper towels before cooking, or it will steam instead of getting that nice brown
03 -
- Sprinkle some sliced jalapeños on top before baking if you want a spicy kick
- Fresh parsley added right before serving adds a bright contrast to all that rich cheese
