🍳 Ingredients
- 1 pack of Plain yeast donuts (glazed optional)
- 1 lb ribeye steak or thinly sliced beef
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 slices of provolone cheese or white American cheese
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder or steak seasoning
🔥 Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sauté sliced onions and bell peppers until soft and lightly caramelized. Remove from the pan.

- Top each donut with the cheesy steak mixture and sautéed veggies.
- Serve warm — let that cheese drip and those flavors collide. 🍔🍩💥
