Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 large bell peppers, topped and seeded
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Meat
- 1 pound thinly sliced steak strips (ribeye or sirloin preferred)
Dairy
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Other
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Start by washing the bell peppers, then slice off the tops and carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
- Sauté the Steak and Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak strips seasoned with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Push the steak to one side and add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and caramelized, approximately 5 more minutes. Combine everything evenly in the pan.
- Stuff the Peppers: Using a spoon, evenly divide the steak and onion mixture into each bell pepper. Place two slices of provolone cheese on top of the filling inside each pepper.
- Bake the Peppers: Arrange the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the stuffed peppers from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm as a hearty and flavorful meal.
Notes
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese for different flavors.
- For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms or green bell peppers to the steak mixture.
- To make it spicier, include a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when cooking the onions and steak.
- Use ribeye steak for the most authentic Philly cheesesteak experience due to its tenderness and flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
