Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Steak (flank or sirloin) Opt for flank for tenderness or sirloin for a heartier bite.
  • 2 tbsp Taco seasoning (cumin, paprika, chili powder) Use pre-made or mix your own for fun.
  • 4 cups Lettuce (romaine or iceberg) Choose romaine for flavor or iceberg for classic crunch.
  • 1 cup Tomatoes (diced) Fresh is preferred but canned works too.
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded) Opt for sharp cheddar for more flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream Adds creaminess and a tangy finish.
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 cup Chicken (diced, optional) A great addition for variety.
  • 1 cup Bell peppers (sliced) Roast them beforehand for extra flavor.
  • 1 cup Onions (sautéed) Sweet or red onions sautéed for warmth.
  • 2 tbsp Cream cheese (optional) Provides a luscious twist.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat while seasoning the steak with taco seasoning.
  2. Add the seasoned steak to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Let rest for a few minutes once done.
Assembly
  1. Layer fresh lettuce, sliced steak, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese in a bowl.
  2. Top with a dollop of sour cream.
Optional Chicken Philly Bowl
  1. Sauté sliced chicken with bell peppers and onions in a separate skillet.
  2. Cook them for about 6-7 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  3. Plate the chicken stir-fry over lettuce with a dollop of cream cheese on top.

Notes

Customize the bowl with your favorite proteins and vegetables. Let the steak rest for maximum juiciness and allow the sautéed ingredients to caramelize for depth of flavor.
