Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a pot, combine the rice with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and allow to cook covered for 15 minutes, or as per package directions, until it can be fluffed with a fork.
  2. Place the steak on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, slice the steak into very thin strips, then sprinkle the strips with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large pan on medium-high heat, warm the olive oil, then add the seasoned steak strips and cook for 3-5 minutes or until desired doneness. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and set aside.
  4. In the same pan on medium heat, add the bell peppers and onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly caramelized and tender.
  5. Turn the heat down to low-medium, return the steak strips to the pan, and stir to mix with the bell pepper and onions.
  6. Top the steak mixture with shredded cheese, then cover the pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Once the cheese is melted, remove the pan from the heat. (You can also melt the cheese by transferring the pan to an oven at 400°F for 5 minutes.)
  7. Once everything is cooked, assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked rice evenly across 4 airtight meal prep containers and layer with a portion of the Philly cheesesteak mixture.
  8. The bowls can be served immediately, stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

To Use Ground Beef: Swap the steak for 1 pound of ground beef.

To Use Onion Powder: Swap the onion for 1 teaspoon of onion powder and add it to the bell peppers in step #4.
