Philly Cheesestew

Normally, when I Paleo-ize popular sandwiches, I make a salad or lettuce wrap out of them. But the Philly Cheesesteak is a hot, gooey mess that just doesn’t suit leafy greens. Enter the Philly Cheesestew! If you tolerate dairy well, throw a slice of Provolone on top just before serving, but even without it, this is a hearty, satisfying meal.
