Make the classic Philly cheesesteak flavor without the bread. These stuffed peppers use tender steak, onions, and melted provolone cheese baked inside bell peppers for an easy, low-carb dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 slices provolone cheese, cut into pieces
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the pepper halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms (if using) to the skillet. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. If you are using cream cheese, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the softened cream cheese until it melts into the mixture.
  6. Spoon the cheesesteak filling evenly into the bell pepper halves.
  7. Top each stuffed pepper generously with the provolone cheese pieces.
  8. Add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the baking dish to help the peppers steam slightly.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let the peppers cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a more authentic flavor, use a very thinly sliced steak, often labeled as ‘shaved steak.’
  • If you want a tangier flavor similar to some cheesesteak shops, add 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce with the seasonings.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and fits well into a low-carb or keto diet plan.
