Ingredients
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, season the thinly sliced steak with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Set the steak aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the seasoned steak. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the steak is browned on all sides.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together—combining the steak, vegetables, and potatoes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture and cover with a lid for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Variations
Different vegetables: You can switch up the veggies to suit your preferences. Try adding mushrooms, zucchini, or even spinach for a twist.
Different cheese: While provolone or mozzarella cheese works great, you could also use cheddar or pepper jack for a bolder flavor.
Spicy kick: If you like a little heat, add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the skillet for an extra kick.
Make it low-carb: To make this dish lower in carbs, you could substitute the potatoes with cauliflower for a similar texture and flavor.
Storage/Reheating
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: To reheat, I recommend using a skillet over medium heat to warm the leftovers. You can also microwave it for a quicker option, but the skillet will help maintain the crispy texture of the potatoes.
FAQs
Can I use other cuts of steak instead of flank steak?
Yes, you can use other cuts of steak such as sirloin or ribeye. Just be sure to slice it thinly for quick cooking.
Can I make this dish in advance?
I recommend making it fresh for the best taste and texture, but you can prep the ingredients ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
Can I make this dish vegetarian?
Absolutely! You can skip the steak and add extra vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or even plant-based protein like tofu for a vegetarian version.
Can I add more cheese?
Definitely! If you’re a cheese lover, feel free to add more cheese, or even mix different types like cheddar, gouda, or Swiss for added flavor.
How do I know when the potatoes are cooked perfectly?
The potatoes should be golden and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Stir them occasionally while cooking to avoid burning, and give them a taste to check for tenderness.
Conclusion
The Philly Steakhouse Potato Skillet is a perfect example of how simple ingredients can create a delicious and comforting meal. I love how the potatoes crisp up while absorbing all the delicious flavors of the steak and veggies. It’s a satisfying, one-pan dish that’s sure to become a favorite in my regular dinner rotation.
