Steak and Cheese Skillet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut), thinly sliced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (use any color or a mix of colors)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steak:
   • Season the thinly sliced steak with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
   • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms (if using). Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Steak:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the seasoned steak slices. Cook the steak until it is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic in the last minute of cooking.
4. Combine Steak and Vegetables:
   • Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the steak. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
5. Add Cheese:
   • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the steak and vegetable mixture. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve:
   • Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
7. Enjoy:
   • Serve the steak and cheese skillet hot, either on its own or with your choice of sides such as crusty bread, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

• Choosing the Steak: Ribeye is very flavorful and tender, but sirloin or flank steak are also good options.
• Cheese Variations: Feel free to use different cheeses like provolone, Swiss, or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
• Extra Toppings: You can add additional toppings like sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or even a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
