Ingredients
  

  • Top Sirloin Steak, 1 1/2 lb (680.39 g), cut into thin slices
  • Olive Oil, 2 tbsp, divided (or avocado oil)
  • Green Bell Pepper, 1 1/2 medium, thinly sliced
  • Large Onion, 1/4, thinly sliced
  • Mushrooms (optional), 4 oz (113.4 g) or shiitake, thinly sliced
  • Garlic Powder, 1 tsp
  • Seasoned Salt, 1 tsp
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • Shredded Mozzarella or Provolone Cheese, 4 oz (113 g), divided
  • Sour Cream, 1/2 cup

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced steak to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove steak and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Sauté the onion and bell peppers for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper to the vegetables and stir well.
  5. If using mushrooms, cook them for an additional 3-4 minutes until they release moisture and soften.
  6. Return the steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in 2 oz of shredded cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until the cheese begins to melt.
  7. Stir in sour cream and remaining 2 oz of shredded cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese fully melts and the mixture is creamy and heated through.
  8. Remove from heat and let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using provolone instead of mozzarella.
Ensure your steak slices are thin to cook quickly without burning.
The sour cream adds a creamy texture and tang while keeping it keto-friendly. You can substitute it with Greek yogurt if preferred.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
