Let’s Talk About the Ingredients

Steak: I have tested a couple of different cuts of steak for this recipe and my favorite by far are sirloin steak or flank steak. Use a sharp knife to cut the steak thinly. To make getting a thin slice even easier, I recommend putting the steak in the freezer for a bit before slicing.

Bell Peppers: The classic philly cheesesteak veggies – peppers. You will need both a small red and green bell pepper.

Mushrooms: If you hate mushrooms, feel free to leave these out. Otherwise, go ahead and add in those baby bellas!

Onion: You cannot have a philly cheesesteak without plenty of onion.

Coconut Aminos: To keep this recipe gluten free, it calls for coconut aminos to add in some extra flavor instead of worcestershire sauce.

Apple Cider Vinegar: This also helps to give the skillet a bit of extra flavor and zip.

Cheese: This recipe calls for a combination of both mozzarella and pecorino romano cheeses for the top. If you don’t want to use two cheeses, feel free to just use shredded mozzarella.

How to Make This Cheesy Skillet

Step One: Add the thinly sliced steak to a small mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Stir until the steak is well coated.

Step Two: Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add in a tablespoon of avocado or coconut oil. Next, add the steak to the skillet and cook for two to three minutes on each side until browned. Once the steak is brown, remove it from the skillet and set aside.

Step Three: Add the coconut aminos and vinegar to the skillet and stir to release any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Next, add the peppers, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet and cook the veggies until the peppers are tender but still crisp.

Step Four: Add the steak back to the skillet and stir until everything is well combined. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and then cover with a lid to allow the cheese to melt. Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately!
