Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground beef or thinly sliced steak

Grains

  • 1 cup white or brown rice

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy

  • 6 oz provolone or American cheese, sliced

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 2 ½ cups beef broth
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional spices: chili flakes, jalapeños, or hot sauce (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Sauté the beef and veggies – Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef or steak until cooked through. Remove excess fat, then add diced onions and bell peppers. Cook until the veggies soften and develop a slight caramelization.
  2. Step 2: Add garlic and rice – Stir in minced garlic and the uncooked rice, letting everything toast lightly for a minute or two to deepen the flavor.
  3. Step 3: Pour in beef broth and simmer – Pour beef broth over the rice and meat mixture, season with salt and pepper, and bring it to a simmer. Cover and cook until the rice absorbs the broth and becomes tender—about 15 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add cheese and melt – Once the rice is cooked, sprinkle sliced provolone or your choice of cheese on top. Cover the skillet again and let the cheese melt into gooey perfection.
  5. Step 5: Serve hot and enjoy – Fluff everything gently with a fork, scoop onto plates, and savor every bite of your homemade Philly Cheesesteak Rice Skillet.

Notes

  • Quality beef matters: Choose fresh, well-marbled meat for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Don’t rush the rice: Ensure the rice is fully cooked by adjusting liquid as necessary and keeping the skillet covered.
  • Use a heavy skillet: A cast-iron or sturdy non-stick skillet helps even heat distribution during cooking.
  • Cheese layering: Add cheese at the end to prevent overcooking and maintain that perfect melt.
  • Season gradually: Taste as you go to balance salt and pepper with other spices without overpowering the dish.
