Description
Enjoy the classic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak in a healthy, low-carb meal. These stuffed green bell peppers are filled with seasoned steak, onions, and melted provolone cheese, baked until tender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large green bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 1 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the sliced onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Return the steak to the skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to combine.
- Place the halved bell peppers cut-side up in a baking dish.
- Spoon the steak and onion mixture evenly into the bell pepper halves.
- Top each stuffed pepper half with a slice of provolone cheese.
- Add about 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the baking dish to help steam the peppers.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the steak mixture.
- If you don’t have provolone, mozzarella or Swiss cheese also work well.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to the filling.
