Instructions

Prep the Steak:
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. If needed, place the steak in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before slicing to make it easier.
Cook the Steak:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Veggies:
- Reduce heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet.
- Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic, cooking for 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
Melt the Cheese:
- Return the steak to the skillet, mixing it with the sautéed vegetables.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese (or lay slices) over the top. Cover with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2 minutes.

Serve:
- Enjoy as is, or serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or in a toasted hoagie roll for a sandwich-style meal.

Notes

Best steak choices: Ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak work best for tenderness and flavor.
Want it spicy? Add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Cheese options: Provolone is classic, but mozzarella, white American, or cheddar work too!

Make it keto: Skip the bread and serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
