Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
These stuffed peppers are a delicious twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich.
Ingredients:
- 2 large bell peppers (halved and seeded)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 pound ribeye steak (thinly sliced)
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Cooking Guide:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add the steak. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pan and cook until the mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in the oregano, black pepper, and salt. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the provolone cheese.
- Fill each pepper half with the steak and cheese mixture. Top with additional mozzarella cheese, if desired.
- Place the stuffed peppers in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips:
- For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- You can use any type of bell pepper you like, such as green, yellow, or orange.
- If you don’t have ribeye steak, you can use another thin-sliced cut of beef, such as flank steak or skirt steak.
- To make the peppers vegetarian, simply omit the steak and add an extra cup of chopped vegetables, such as broccoli or zucchini.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.
- Serve your Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers with a side of sour cream, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce.
