A rich, satisfying low-carb dinner featuring thinly sliced steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and a creamy cheese sauce, perfect for keto lifestyles and quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) thinly sliced ribeye steak or sirloin
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded provolone cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the ribeye steak against the grain. Slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced peppers and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized, about 7-8 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute, stirring to avoid burning. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer veggies to a plate.
  3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add steak slices in a single layer. Let sear undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir and cook until browned but still juicy, about 3-4 more minutes. Avoid overcrowding.
  4. Lower heat to medium-low. Push steak to one side of skillet. Add cream cheese and heavy cream to the empty side. Stir gently until cream cheese melts into a smooth sauce. Gradually stir in shredded provolone cheese, allowing it to melt. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Mix sautéed veggies back into the skillet and fold everything together gently. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to marry flavors.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

If cream sauce is too thick, add a splash more heavy cream or broth to loosen. Avoid overcooking steak to keep it tender and juicy. Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Thinly slice steak for tenderness. Do not overcrowd pan to prevent steaming.
