  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Bowl Base

  • 3 cups cooked white rice or cauliflower rice
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for rice flavor)
  • Pinch of salt

Cheese Layer

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella
  • or 6 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice Base – Cook white rice according to package instructions if not already prepared. Stir in butter and a pinch of salt while warm. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. Sauté the Peppers & Onions – Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until softened. Add bell peppers, salt, and pepper. Cook until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Juicy Beef – In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced beef, season with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and just cooked through. Return peppers and onions to the pan and toss together.
  4. Melt the Cheese – Lower heat to medium-low. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the beef mixture (or lay provolone slices on top). Cover skillet with a lid until cheese is melted and gooey.
  5. Assemble the Bowl – Spoon warm rice into serving bowls. Top with cheesy beef, peppers, and onions. Garnish with parsley, red pepper flakes, or garlic aioli if desired.
