A quick and easy twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak, stuffed inside crunchy bell peppers with a melty blend of provolone and mozzarella cheese. Perfect for a hearty, low-carb dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (about 4 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • Optional: sautéed mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Set aside the tops if desired.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4-5 minutes until just browned.
  4. Add sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add mushrooms if using and cook until tender.
  5. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the mixture and stir well. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Spoon the beef mixture evenly into each bell pepper cavity, packing lightly.
  7. Layer provolone slices over the filling, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
  8. Place stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly. Optionally tent with foil for the first 15 minutes for softer peppers, then remove foil to brown cheese.
  9. Let the peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcook the beef to keep it tender. Sear in batches to avoid overcrowding. Let peppers rest after baking to avoid burning your mouth. You can prep filling ahead and stuff just before baking to keep peppers from getting soggy. For softer peppers, tent with foil during baking.
