Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lbs thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak (or 1 lb ground beef)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
- ½ cup beef broth (optional, for moisture)
- 2 cups par-cooked diced potatoes or cooked rice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- Slice steak thinly against the grain (partially freeze for easier slicing), or brown ground beef and drain excess fat.
- Season beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brown in batches over medium-high heat. Set aside.
- Sauté onions in olive oil until golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add bell peppers and cook until tender but not mushy. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Layer casserole dish with some cheese, then meat, vegetables, optional starches, and top with remaining cheese.
- Add ½ cup beef broth if mixture seems dry. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Use provolone for classic flavor and mozzarella for melty texture. Add mushrooms or hot peppers for variation. Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
