Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
Vegetables
- 1 cup sweet pepper strips
- 2 cups green bell pepper strips
- 1/4 cup sliced onion
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
Cheese
- 3 oz provolone cheese
- 3 oz shredded gruyere or swiss cheese
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Steak seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large oven-proof skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat with steak seasoning until fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even browning.
- Sauté Vegetables: In another skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the sweet pepper strips, green bell pepper strips, sliced onion, and thinly sliced mushrooms for about 5–7 minutes until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sautéed vegetables to the browned ground beef in the oven-proof skillet and mix well to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
- Layer Cheese: Evenly layer the provolone cheese and shredded gruyere or swiss cheese on top of the meat and vegetable mixture.
- Broil the Dish: Place the skillet under the oven broiler and cook for about 3–5 minutes until the cheese melts completely and turns golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of steak seasoning based on your preferred flavor intensity.
- Using an oven-proof skillet allows easy transition from stovetop to broiler without transferring the mixture.
- For a lower-fat version, opt for lean ground beef and reduce cheese quantities.
- Serve with low-carb sides such as cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad to maintain the keto style.
- If you don’t have gruyere cheese, swiss cheese is a perfect substitute as suggested.
