Preparation

Cooking
- Increase heat to high, add olive oil, and sear steak slices for 2-3 minutes without stirring, then stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked.
- Combine sautéed vegetables back into the skillet with the steak.
- In a separate saucepan on low heat, combine cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring until melted and smooth. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and provolone slices.
Assembly
- Layer cooked rice or cauliflower rice in bowls, add the steak and vegetable mixture, then drizzle creamy cheese sauce on top. Optionally, add shredded lettuce and extra provolone.
