Ingredients
1 lb ribeye steak or sirloin, thinly sliced

1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
1.5 cups shredded provolone cheese
Chopped parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear sliced beef in batches until browned but not overcooked. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add remaining olive oil. Sauté onions for 2-3 minutes until softened.
3. Add all bell peppers and cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
4. Pour in beef broth. Scrape up any browned bits from the pot and stir.
5. Add Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream. Return beef to the pot. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
7. Gradually stir in shredded provolone until fully melted and smooth.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with parsley or green onions and serve hot.
Notes
Freeze beef for 15 minutes before slicing for thinner, easier cuts.
Avoid boiling after adding cream or cheese to maintain smooth texture.
You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or Monterey Jack based on preference.
