Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers

April 21, 2013 by Katie Leave a Comment

A good cheese steak is certainly a guilty pleasure of mine.  Feeling so full and gross after devouring one, however, is not something I enjoy.  So, when I came across this recipe, I was excited to put my spin on it.  The dish promised all the flavors of a delicious cheese steak without the guilt.  It did not disappoint!  I enjoyed every last bite of this stuffed pepper.

I did change the recipe up a bit.  I excluded the mushrooms and opted to used thin cut beef round instead of roast beef cold cuts. I also cooked my peppers in the oven first to soften them up a bit (a step I definitely recommend).

Start by preheating your oven to 400°…

image

  • Thinly slice a red pepper and an onion.
  • Mince up some garlic.

image

  • Cut 4 green peppers in half.

image

  • Place the halved green peppers into a baking dish.
  • Drizzle some EVOO over the peppers.
  • Season with some s&p.

image

  • Toss to evenly coat.
  • Turn the peppers so that the cut-side is down.

image

  • With a paring knife, make a small X on the back of each pepper.

image

  • Place the peppers in the oven and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven and let cool.

image

  • Once cool, turn over so the cut-side is up.

image

While the peppers cool, start the filling…

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add some EVOO.

image

  • Then add some butter.

image

  • When the butter has melted, add the red pepper, onion, and garlic.

image

image

  • Season with some of the salt and pepper.
  • Cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes.

image

  • While the veggies cook, slice 1 package of thin cut beef round.

image

  • Season the sliced beef with s&p.

image

  • Drizzle some EVOO on top.

image

  • Toss the coat evenly.

image

  • Push the veggies to one side of the skillet.
  • Add the beef to the other side.

image

  • Cook until browned, stirring every now and then.

image

  • When the beef is cooked through, stir to mix in the peppers and onions.

image

  • Place half a slice of provolone into each of the green peppers.

image

  • Spoon the beef mixture into each pepper.

image

image

  • Top with another half slice of provolone.

image

  • Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Enjoy!
