🛒 Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean sirloin steak, thinly sliced (trim all visible fat)
- 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 4 slices reduced-fat provolone cheese (or part-skim mozzarella)
- 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
- Cauliflower rice, steamed or sautéed, for the base (optional and 0 points)
🔪 Instructions:
- Prep the steak:
Place your sirloin slices in a bowl. Add garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 10–15 minutes if time allows. - Cook the vegetables:
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray or add 1 tsp olive oil. Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until tender and slightly caramelized, about 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside. - Cook the steak:
In the same skillet, add steak slices in a single layer. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your liking. Return the veggies to the pan and toss everything together. - Melt the cheese:
Reduce heat to low and place cheese slices over the mixture. Cover with a lid for 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted. - Assemble the bowls:
Add a scoop of cauliflower rice (or leave it out for just steak and veggies), top with the cheesy steak and veggie mix, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
🧠 Why This Recipe Works for WW:
- Zero-point base with cauliflower rice and veggies.
- Lean protein from sirloin keeps you full and satisfied.
- Portion-controlled cheese keeps flavor without adding too many points.
- No bread = lower carbs and fewer points!
💡 Helpful Tips:
- Use fat-free mozzarella to reduce points even more.
- Swap sirloin for extra-lean ground beef or chicken breast if preferred.
- Want a “loaded bowl”? Add sautéed zucchini, spinach, or even a fried egg (0–2 points max depending on plan).
