Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Thinly slice the ribeye steak against the grain; this ensures tender bites. Chop bell peppers and onions into strips for even cooking.

Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers; cook until they soften and caramelize, around 5-7 minutes.

Cook the Steak: Increase heat to medium-high. Add ribeye slices to the skillet with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sear until browned but still juicy, around 3-4 minutes.

Add Cheese and Combine: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the meat mixture in the skillet. Cover with a lid until the cheese melts into ooey-gooey goodness, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve It Up!: Spoon your cheesy creation onto plates or low-carb wraps. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs or additional toppings like avocado or jalapeños if you’re feeling adventurous!
