  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded (plus more for topping, if desired)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter for sautéing

Jalapeños

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced yellow onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and begin to caramelize. If adding mushrooms, add them with the onions and peppers. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
    2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, 1 large Yellow Onion, 1 large Green Bell Pepper
  2. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the same skillet. If the skillet seems dry, add another teaspoon of butter. Cook the steak for 3-5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.

  3. Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the cooked steak. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir everything together to combine.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined. This mixture will form the rich, luscious cheese sauce.

  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the steak and vegetable combination in the skillet. Stir gently until the sauce coats the ingredients and begins to melt. Add the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheeses to the skillet. Continue to stir gently until the cheeses are fully melted and create a creamy, gooey sauce binding everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
