# How To Make It:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove steak and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add peppers, onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until vegetables are softened and fragrant.
03 - Return the steak to the skillet and stir to combine. Lower heat to medium. Add cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring until cheese melts and sauce is smooth and creamy.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The creamy cheese sauce transforms ordinary vegetables into something youll actually crave
  • Its faster than delivery and tastes infinitely better
  • Everything cooks in one pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
02 -
  • Dont crowd the pan when searing the beef or it will steam instead of brown. Work in batches if necessary.
  • The sauce continues thickening as it stands off heat, so remove from heat when it looks slightly thinner than you want.
03 -
  • Let the cream cheese come to room temperature while you prep, it prevents any lumpy sauce situations
  • Reserve a handful of cheese to sprinkle fresh on top right before serving
