Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Dairy
- 42 oz 96% lean ground beef
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
Vegetables
- 2 large green bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
Grains
- 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
Seasonings and Oils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Rice. Prepare jasmine rice according to package directions, then set it aside to keep warm while preparing the other ingredients.
- Sauté Vegetables. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and green bell peppers and cook for about 7 minutes until they become soft yet slightly crisp. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Ground Beef. In the same skillet, add the lean ground beef. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook the beef thoroughly until browned with no pink remaining. Drain any excess liquid from the pan to keep the mixture from becoming soggy.
- Combine Beef and Vegetables. Lower the heat to low and return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Mix well with the beef to combine flavors.
- Add Greek Yogurt. Quickly stir in the non-fat plain Greek yogurt to the beef and vegetable mixture to create a creamy texture without curdling.
- Melt Cheese. Divide the beef-vegetable mixture into four equal portions in the skillet. Place one slice of provolone cheese on top of each portion and cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt.
- Assemble Bowls. Serve each portion of the cheesesteak mixture on top of 1/2 cup of cooked jasmine rice, forming individual rice bowls ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking the vegetables to keep them slightly crisp for better texture.
- Drain excess liquid from the cooked ground beef to prevent sogginess in the final dish.
- Ensure frozen beef is fully thawed and drained before cooking for optimal flavor and texture.
- For extra flavor, add smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or a sprinkle of chili flakes can be added as toppings for an elevated flavor.
- This recipe can be customized with different proteins like ground turkey or chicken, or by using cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
