🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First things first, prepare your steak. Thinly slice it against the grain—this is key for tenderness! If you got a thick cut, freeze it for 30 mins to make it easier to cut.
  2. Next up, dice your onions and bell peppers. I like to use both red and green for color and flavor, but use what you like. One thing I don't like is using yellow onions, too strong in flavor, but that's just me.
  3. Now, heat up your large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil—I use olive oil—and once it's hot, toss in your onions and peppers. Cook until they're softened but still have a little crunch. Don't overcook them!
  4. Time to sear that steak! Add your sliced steak to the pan and cook it until it's browned and slightly crispy on the outside. Season it simply with salt, pepper, and maybe a little garlic powder. Don't overdo the seasoning! Less is more when it comes to good steak.
  5. While your steak is cooking, get your cheese ready. If you're using a pre-shredded blend, that’s awesome; otherwise, shred your chosen cheeses. I like to set it aside on a plate so it doesn't get cold.
  6. Once the steak is cooked to your liking, it's time to add the cheese. Reduce the heat to low, and then add the cheese to the skillet, stirring gently until it's melted and gooey. This is where the magic happens!
  7. Carefully remove the steak and cheese mixture from the skillet and set it aside. Don't worry, we'll add a few more steps!
  8. Now for the final step! Place your lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture into the lettuce leaves, creating your amazing wraps! That's it!
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, healthier twist on a Philly classic! Maybe add some sour cream, too! It's really really good

📝 Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the steak.
  • Feel free to experiment with other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack!
