A quick and simple meal prep recipe that recreates the flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak using ground beef, vegetables, and melted cheese served over basmati rice. Ready in about 25 minutes, perfect for grab-and-go lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 medium green pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese (or provolone)
  • 1 cup cooked basmati rice

Instructions

  1. Cook basmati rice according to package instructions.
  2. Dice the green pepper, thinly slice the onion, and slice the mushrooms.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the ground beef, break it apart, and cook until halfway browned.
  5. Add the diced green pepper, sliced onion, and mushrooms; continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Drain excess fat from the skillet if desired.
  7. Pour in Worcestershire sauce and beef broth; simmer 2–3 minutes until most of the broth is absorbed.
  8. Remove the pan from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted.
  9. Divide the mixture into 3–4 meal-prep containers and add about 1/2 cup cooked basmati rice (or cauliflower rice) to each.

Notes

Slice onions thinly for better texture., Drain excess beef fat to keep it leaner and less oily., Do not overcook mushrooms and peppers; cook until just tender for better flavor and texture., Colby Jack, provolone, or mozzarella cheese can be used interchangeably., For a low-carb version, substitute basmati rice with cauliflower rice or serve over steamed vegetables or a baked potato., To reheat, add a little water and cover to prevent drying out., Freeze in single-serving containers for convenience; thaw before reheating.
