Directions: How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Step 1: Prep and Bake the Peppers

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the halved bell peppers cut side up in a large baking dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 15 minutes to soften slightly.

Step 2: Sauté Philly Cheesesteak Filling

• While peppers bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add onions, mushrooms, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and lightly golden.
• Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
• Add the thinly sliced steak. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until just cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce if using.

Step 3: Stuff and Bake Philly Cheesesteak Peppers

• Remove peppers from the oven. Fill each with the steak and veggie mixture.
• Top each pepper half with a slice of provolone cheese.
• Return to oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

• Let the Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes: Helpful Tips for Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

• For extra tender steak, slice it very thin against the grain—freezing it for 20 minutes first makes this easier (how to slice steak).
• Mix up the cheese! Try mozzarella, cheddar, or even pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Use lean ground beef as a budget-friendly alternative to steak (learn about ground beef).

Variations of Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

• Chicken Philly Stuffed Peppers: Swap steak for thinly sliced chicken breast or rotisserie chicken.
• Vegetarian Version: Omit meat and add extra mushrooms, zucchini, or even lentils for a hearty filling.
• Cheesesteak Sliders: Dice the peppers and mix everything, then serve on slider buns for a party-friendly appetizer!
