Ingredients

Scale

Meats

  • 1.5 to 2 lbs thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak

Vegetables

  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced (or red, or both)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)

Dairy

  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 to 1.5 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup beef broth or stock
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the ribeye or sirloin steak thinly. Chop the bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms (if using) into evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking and flavor distribution.
  2. Layer the Crock Pot: In your crock pot, begin with a layer of sliced onions and bell peppers. Add the mushrooms on top if you choose to include them. Next, place the thin slices of beef evenly over the veggies. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over everything.
  3. Add Liquids and Cook: Pour in the beef broth or stock to keep the mixture moist during the long cooking process. Cover with the lid and set the crock pot to low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, allowing the beef to tenderize and the vegetables to soften perfectly.
  4. Incorporate the Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cream cheese until melted and fully combined. Then add the shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese on top and replace the lid to let it melt and become gooey.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Give the entire mixture one last gentle stir and check seasoning. Serve your Crock Pot Philly Cheesesteak hot, straight from the crock pot, and enjoy with your favorite low-carb sides.

Notes

  • Choose quality beef: Ribeye or sirloin with good marbling will deliver tender, juicy results perfect for slow cooking.
  • Slice beef thinly: Freezing the meat for 20 minutes before slicing makes it easier to cut paper-thin pieces.
  • Layer veggies first: Placing onions and peppers beneath the meat ensures even cooking and prevents dryness.
  • Don’t skip the cream cheese: It adds rich creaminess and helps melt the shredded cheese perfectly into the mix.
  • Low and slow wins: Cooking on low heat helps maximize tenderness and flavor melding.
  • Adjust broth amounts: Start with less broth and add more during cooking if needed to avoid a watery dish.
