SLOW COOKER PHILLY CHEESESTEAK RICE BOWLS

This post is sponsored by the Certified Angus Beef ® brand in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. As always, all opinions are my own.

If you like philly cheesesteaks today’s Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Rice Bowls are for you.

This recipe creates tender sliced beef that works perfect with bell peppers on top of warm rice, melted provolone cheese and your favorite toppings.

You will use a flavorful Certified Angus Beef ® brand top round roast and slice it into thin slices before putting it in the slow cooker.

This cut of meat creates tender slices that cook in the beef broth and spices along with the bell peppers.

I like to think of this as a lightened up version of traditional philly cheesesteaks. For these Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Rice Bowls you can use white rice or brown rice for a healthier dish.

When I make this I like to pull the meat and bell peppers out of the slow cooker and quickly heat the cheese on top of the meat in the oven for 2-3 minutes. Alternatively you can quickly microwave the meat with the cheese.

Once the beef and cheese are ready you put it over the rice and then add whatever toppings you fancy. For me I like to use tomatoes, parsley and green onion.

You might remember from this One Pot Mexican Stuffed Pepper Casserole recipe that I shared that I work with Certified Angus Beef ® brand and am always happy to share new, creative ways to use their wonderful beef.

You probably see Certified Angus Beef ® brand in your local stores or in restaurants a lot. I am always on the lookout for their beef when I eat out or am at my grocery stores.

Did you know Certified Angus Beef® brand doesn’t actually raise the cattle? They select the best beef farmers across the United States.

I met some firsthand last year on my trip to Kansas so I know how much these farmers care for their cattle and how passionate they are about providing the best product possible.

The Certified Angus Beef® brand community is actually made up of small ranchers from coast to coast, most of whom have only 20-40 cattle in their herds. 

Only 1 in 4 Angus cattle meet the Certified Angus Beef® brand’s 10 quality standards.  Just look for that Certified Angus Beef® brand logo. 

That’s how you’ll know you’re purchasing top quality beef for you and your family!

The key to a delicious meal is the meat you use and theirs is top notch.

Each cut of their beef is a taste of the heartland – perfectly marbled, incredibly juicy, amazingly tender and packed with flavor.

Only the best cuts of choice and prime make the cut, because only the best can be called the Certified Angus Beef ^® brand.

You can’t beat that! Click here to find the nearest market to you.

If these Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Rice Bowls aren’t your thing you can easily make the sliced beef with bell peppers in the crockpot and use it for a variety of other meals including of course philly cheesesteaks on buns or on a salad.

When I make this type of a meal I like to lay out all of the toppings for my family or guests to create their own version.

When it comes to rice bowls they make a quick and easy meal because you can prep everything ahead of time.

I always keep a container of rice in my fridge along with chopped vegetables and fresh herbs. That makes meal time so easy if everything is already prepped and ready to go.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Certified Angus Beef ® brand top round beef roast
• 2 bell peppers, seeds removed, sliced {I used a red and green}
• 1/2 of a sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 Tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 bay leaves

For the rice bowl:

• Shredded provolone cheese
• White or brown rice, cooked
• Chopped tomatoes
• Shredded lettuce
• Fresh parsley and green onion
• Hot peppers
• Banana peppers
• Pepperoncinis

Instructions

1. Thinly slice the beef and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the bell pepper and onion. 
2. In a medium bowl mix together the garlic, broth, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, oregano, onion powder, hot sauce, salt and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the beef, peppers and onions.  Add the bay leaves. Stir everything together to mix.
3. Place the lid on and cook on low 6-8 hours, or high 3-4 hours or until meat is tender.
4. Remove the meat from the slow cooker along with the peppers and onions and place in a large bowl. To assemble the rice bowls scoop cooked white or brown rice into a bowl. Add the beef and pepper mixture on top. Sprinkle with provolone cheese and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Alternatively lay the meat on a large baking sheet and heat the meat with the shredded provolone cheese on top for 5-6 minutes at 350 degrees or until the cheese is melted.
5. Add your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, tomatoes, parsley and green onion. I also really like adding things like hot peppers, pepperonis and banana peppers to my bowls. 
6. Store the meat in the fridge covered in a container along with the juices to keep the meat tender.

Notes

Feel free to use whatever toppings you like with these rice bowls. This meat of course works great in a traditional philly cheesesteak using a bun.
