02 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced yellow onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and begin to caramelize.
03 -
Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add 1 lb 90/10 lean ground beef to the empty side. Break it up with a spoon and cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
04 -
Stir the browned ground beef and sautéed vegetables together. Add the minced garlic, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/2 tsp dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
05 -
Pour in 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld for your Quick Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Meal Prep.
06 -
Evenly sprinkle 6 oz shredded provolone cheese over the entire beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and gooey.
07 -
Remove the skillet from the heat. Divide the Quick Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Meal Prep into 4 equal servings for your meal prep containers. Serve immediately or cool completely before refrigerating for later.

Store cooled portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
