- 1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or white button) – optional
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup unsalted beef broth
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (plus more for topping)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- Splash of Worcestershire sauce (low-carb if strict)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Thinly slice the beef against the grain, or prepare ground beef if using.
- Thinly slice the onions and green bell peppers, and slice mushrooms if using.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the beef in batches until browned, about 1-2 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- If using ground beef, add it to the skillet and cook until fully browned. Drain excess grease and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add sliced onions and bell peppers (and mushrooms if using). Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a separate saucepan over medium heat, combine softened cream cheese with beef broth, whisking until smooth. Stir in shredded provolone cheese until melted and incorporated. Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Combine the cooked beef with sautéed vegetables in the skillet, then pour the creamy cheese sauce over and stir until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Layer remaining provolone cheese (or a mix of provolone and mozzarella) on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown on top.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
