What you’ll need
To get started, you’ll need to gather the following ingredients:
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (sirloin or ribeye work well)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (use provolone or mozzarella for best results)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Step-by-step instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until they’re soft and aromatic, about five minutes.

- Cook the beef, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through, which should take around 5-7 minutes.
- After browning, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the beef and let it melt to create a creamy topping.
