Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep the Peppers
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
- Lightly brush with olive oil and place in a baking dish, cut side up.
- Bake for 10 minutes while preparing the filling (optional but recommended for softer peppers).
Step 2: Cook the Steak & Vegetables
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add shaved ribeye steak, season with salt & pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, then remove the steak from the skillet.
- In the same pan, add sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.
Step 3: Make the Filling
- Lower the heat to medium-low, return the steak to the skillet, and stir in cream cheese.
- Mix until fully melted and creamy. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Stuff & Bake
- Remove the pre-baked bell peppers from the oven.
- Fill each pepper with the steak mixture, packing it in tightly.
- Top each stuffed pepper with shredded provolone cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
- Let the stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy with a side salad, roasted veggies, or a creamy dipping sauce.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, stuff the peppers and bake!
- Softer Peppers Tip: If you prefer extra tender peppers, bake them for 15-20 minutes before stuffing.
- Meat Alternatives: Ground beef, chicken, or even mushrooms for a vegetarian version work well.
- Cheese Variations: Provolone is classic, but mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack add a different twist.
- Low-Carb & Keto Friendly: This dish is naturally low in carbs, but for an even lower carb count, reduce the onions.
- Extra Flavor: Add garlic powder, paprika, or a splash of hot sauce for more depth.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side salad, cauliflower rice, or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
