FAQ

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK BOWLS Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Ground beef: You can use thinly sliced steak or even ground turkey if you want a leaner version
• Onion: If you dont have a large onion you could use a couple of shallots for a milder flavor
• Mushrooms: Portobello slices or even button mushrooms make a good substitute if youre looking for different texture
• Provolone cheese: Mozzarella or American cheese works fine if you cant get provolone around

Pro Tips

1. Try cooking the onions a bit slower on medium heat so they get really sweet and soft without burning, it helps add a lot of flavor.
2. If you decide to use garlic, add it after the beef has started browning so it doesnt overcook and turn bitter.
3. Stir in the provolone slowly on low heat and keep mixing around so the cheese melts evenly instead of clumping.
4. Always take a quick taste at the end to see if you need more salt or pepper to really bring out the flavors.
