Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 2 lb thinly sliced beef
- 1 small onion sliced
- 2 bell peppers sliced
- 2 cups button or baby bella mushrooms sliced
Dairy and Broth
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese or slices
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Seasonings and Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt or salt + garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F to get it ready for baking.
- Sear the beef: Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, garlic salt, and black pepper, cooking until browned. Remove the beef and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of grease in the skillet.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until they are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and cream cheese. Cook and stir until the cream cheese melts completely and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and mix everything thoroughly. If your skillet isn’t large enough, transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish and combine.
- Add cheese and bake: Top the mixture evenly with shredded provolone cheese or slices. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is bubbly. For a crispy top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- You can substitute the beef with chicken or turkey for a different protein option.
- Using a pre-sliced beef makes this recipe quick and convenient.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Ensure your skillet is ovenproof or transfer to a baking dish before baking.
- This dish can be assembled ahead and baked when needed.
