recipe notes and tips
- Use a preheated oven.
- Ideally, shred your own cheese, it melts s better than pre-shredded. Pre shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents, meaning they don’t melt fully – but they’ll still work fine!
- Don’t have provolone? Feel free to use a Mexican blend, jack, or melty mozzarella.
- If you have time, partially freeze the steak before slicing it, it’s much easier to get thin slices that way.
- You can dial the chili powder up or down, depending on your spicy preference!
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, for a pop of color.

This is the best meal I have had in a LONG time!! The flavors mesh together perfectly. Make sure you don’t skim on the lemon at the end, it brings it all together. My boys love this and even asked if they could bring it for lunch the next day. My husband was licking his plate clean. Thank you for this recipe! I will be making it again soon.
So awesome. Thank you!
