Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 2 pounds shaved steak
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 bell pepper cut into ½ inch strips (red, green, or yellow)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Cheese Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • 16 ounces provolone divided 8 ounces for sauce, 8 ounces for topping

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Saucepan
  • Casserole dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F. Season the steak with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and chop it.
  3. Add the onion and bell pepper to the same skillet and cook for 6 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Return the chopped steak to the skillet and mix everything together. Remove from heat.
  4. In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the beef broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cream cheese. Whisk often until the cream cheese is melted. Reduce heat to low and add 8 ounces of the provolone cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted.
  5. Pour the cheese sauce into the skillet with the steak mixture and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and top with the remaining 8 ounces of provolone cheese.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and heated through.
