Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Marinade

  • 2000g raw top sirloin beef, shaved thin
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 tsp onion powder
  • 140g Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 tsp olive oil (optional)

Vegetables

  • 40g light butter (for cooking)
  • 400g white onion, thinly sliced
  • 200g green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 200g red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Cheese & Dairy

  • 16 reduced fat cheese slices
  • 500g 1% milk
  • 200g low fat cheddar, shredded
  • 20g light butter

Rice & Flavorings

  • 50g minced garlic
  • 520g uncooked basmati rice (approx. 1200g cooked)
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 120g grated parmesan

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: Thinly slice the sirloin beef and evenly coat it with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil if using. Set aside to let the flavors soak in while preparing other ingredients.
  2. Cook the Veggies: Melt 40g light butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced white onions and green and red bell peppers. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened, then cook another 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  3. Make the Garlic Rice: In the same pan, melt 20g light butter and quickly cook the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked basmati rice, sprinkle with optional chili flakes, chopped parsley, and grated parmesan. Stir thoroughly until everything is heated through, fluffy, and well combined.
  4. Sear the Steak: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add butter to the pan and sear the marinated steak strips for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until they develop a rich brown crust and cook through.
  5. Combine Everything: Reduce the heat to low. Return the cooked vegetables to the pan with the steak. Add the reduced fat cheese slices, 1% milk, and shredded low fat cheddar. Stir everything gently and continuously until the cheese melts and creates a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Spoon the cheesy steak and vegetable mixture over a bed of garlic parmesan rice. Serve hot and enjoy your high-protein meal.

Notes

  • Use thinly shaved sirloin for best texture and quick cooking.
  • Optional chili flakes add a mild heat, adjust according to preference.
  • Reduced fat cheeses keep this recipe lighter while providing rich flavor.
  • Ensure rice is cooked and cooled prior to adding for best texture.
  • Substitute basmati rice with brown rice for higher fiber content.
