Step 3: Cook the Beef
In the same skillet, add the sliced beef. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika or steak seasoning if using. Cook quickly over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the beef is just browned. Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for depth of flavor, then remove from heat.
Step 4: Make the Creamy Base
Lower the heat and return the skillet to the stove. Add the softened cream cheese along with a small amount of beef broth or heavy cream. Stir until smooth and creamy, forming a rich sauce that will hold the casserole together.
Step 5: Combine Everything
Add the cooked beef and sautéed vegetables to the creamy sauce. Gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 6: Assemble the Casserole
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly, then top generously with provolone cheese. Add mozzarella if you want an extra cheesy finish.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
Step 8: Rest and Serve
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the layers to settle and makes serving easier.
