03 - 2 onions, quartered and sliced
04 - 1/2 to 1 cup sliced mushrooms

# Steps to Cook:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, toss the thinly sliced top sirloin with salt and black pepper. Coat the beef evenly with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
02 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef in batches until browned on the outside but still pink inside. Remove beef and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook until onions become translucent, stirring occasionally.
04 - Stir in garlic powder, remaining flour, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce into the vegetables.
05 - Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.
06 - Add the thinly sliced sweet bell peppers during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Return the seared beef to the pot to warm through.
07 - Ladle the stew into bowls and top each serving with slices of provolone cheese. Serve hot, optionally with garlic toast or hollowed-out bread bowls.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use thinly sliced top sirloin for best texture. Adjust seasoning according to preference.
