A quick and easy twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak, these stuffed bell peppers are filled with tender ribeye steak, sautéed veggies, and melted provolone cheese for a satisfying and lighter comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color, preferably red or green)
  • 12 oz ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 medium yellow or white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: ½ cup sliced mushrooms
  • Optional: hot cherry peppers or jalapeños for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Slice off the tops of the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes, keeping the peppers intact. Set aside.
  3. Slice the ribeye thinly against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions, green bell pepper, and mushrooms if using. Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute.
  5. Push veggies to the side, add remaining tablespoon olive oil, increase heat to medium-high. Add sliced steak in batches, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook 2-3 minutes per batch until browned but still juicy.
  6. Mix cooked steak and sautéed veggies together in the pan. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Stuff each bell pepper with the steak mixture, packing but not overflowing. Top each with provolone slices, tucking edges inside.
  8. Place stuffed peppers upright in the baking dish. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  10. Let peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Freeze steak for 30 minutes before slicing for easier thin cuts. Add a splash of water or beef broth to baking dish if peppers dry out during baking. Rest peppers after baking to help filling set. Can be cooked in an air fryer at 360°F for 15 minutes covered, then 5 minutes uncovered.
