Description
A low-carb twist on a classic sandwich, these Cheesesteak Stuffed Bell Peppers are filled with savory shaved steak, onions, and mushrooms, then topped with a melted provolone cheese mixture.
Ingredients
3 large bell peppers, (cut in half lengthwise, seeds and membranes removed)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
14 ounce package shaved steak
2 Tablespoons salted butter
1 small sweet onion, (thinly sliced)
1 cup button mushrooms, (thinly sliced (optional))
2 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 1/2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
1 cup shredded provolone cheese or mozzarella cheese
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a sheet tray with cooking spray, place the halved peppers cut side down, spray them again, and bake for 20 minutes.
- Step 2: While the peppers bake, make the filling by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shaved steak in a single layer and let it sear until golden brown.
- Step 3: Break up the steak and continue to cook for about 8 minutes total, or until no pink remains. Remove the cooked steak from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- Step 4: Add the butter, sliced onions, and mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly browned.
- Step 5: Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return the steak to the skillet, add the Worcestershire sauce and steak seasoning, stir everything to combine, and then remove from the heat.
- Step 6: When the peppers are done pre-baking, flip them over so the cut side is facing up. Evenly divide the steak filling among the pepper halves.
- Step 7: In a small bowl, mix together the shredded provolone, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley. Spoon this cheese mixture evenly over the filling in each pepper.
- Step 8: Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted. For a browner top, you can switch the oven to broil for a minute. Serve immediately.
Notes
Mozzarella cheese can be used as a substitute for provolone.
The button mushrooms are an optional addition to the filling.
For a golden-brown cheesy top, place the peppers under the broiler for a minute or two after baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
