Instructions
Heat a large cast iron pan over high heat. When hot, add half the avocado oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions and peppers soften and just begin to color, about 5-10 minutes. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook, stirring constantly until the garlic is fragrant, 1 minute more. Transfer cooked vegetables to a bowl and set aside. Do not clean the pan.
Add the beef and remaining half of the avocado oil. Season with a pinch of salt and cook on high until the beef is seared, about 5 minutes total. Add the coconut aminos, Worcestershire sauce, and mushrooms. Cook until no liquid remains, another minute or two. Remove from heat.
Add back the vegetables and stir to combine. Top with cheese and place the whole pan into the oven and broil on high until the cheese is melted, about 2-4 minutes. Serve with parsley as a garnish, if desired.
