Main Ingredients
- 4 large green bell peppers, halved and seeds removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 pound thinly sliced sirloin steak or deli roast beef, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F and prepare a baking dish by placing the halved green bell peppers cut side up. Lightly drizzle or spray the peppers with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Sauté the vegetables: While the peppers bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced yellow onion, red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Cook and stir for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the steak and seasonings: Mix in the chopped sirloin steak or roast beef along with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently until the meat is heated through and well combined with the veggies.
- Assemble the stuffed peppers: Remove the baking dish from the oven. Place one slice of provolone cheese at the bottom of each baked pepper half. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
- Top and bake: Add another slice of provolone cheese on top of the filling for each pepper. Return the stuffed peppers to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the stuffed peppers to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the melty cheese and savory filling at their best.
Notes
- Prep the cheesesteak filling ahead of time to speed up assembly during mealtime.
- For a spicier twist, substitute pepper jack cheese or add sliced jalapeños to the filling.
- These stuffed peppers are ideal for meal prep and reheat very well throughout the week.
