Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
  • 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin beef
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or shredded equivalent)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Hot sauce, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peppers: Wash the bell peppers thoroughly, then slice off the tops and carefully remove all seeds and membranes. Set the hollowed peppers aside to be used as edible bowls for the filling.
  2. Cook the Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sliced onions and green bell pepper, cooking until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Next, add the thinly sliced beef and cook until browned and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and optionally add Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce to enhance the authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor. Stir to combine.
  3. Stuff the Peppers: Generously fill each hollowed bell pepper with the cooked beef and vegetable mixture. Top each stuffed pepper with provolone cheese slices or shredded cheese for that classic melty finish.
  4. Bake: Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the peppers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for a few minutes. Optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives and serve as desired. Enjoy your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers!

Notes

  • Choose fresh, firm bell peppers for best results as they hold their shape well during baking.
  • Slice beef thinly to ensure it cooks quickly and remains tender.
  • Do not overfill the peppers; leave some space at the top so the cheese melts nicely without overflowing.
  • Use a sharp knife for easier, precise cutting of peppers and slicing of beef.
  • Allow stuffed peppers to rest a few minutes after baking to avoid burning your mouth and to let flavors meld.
