Ingredients
Scale
-
- 4 large bell peppers, halved and deseeded
- 1 lb shaved ribeye steak (or thinly sliced sirloin)
- ½ cup sautéed mushrooms (cremini or baby bella)
- ½ cup caramelized onions
- ½ cup provolone cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Optional Ingredients & Substitutions:
-
- Swap ribeye for sirloin, ground beef, or chicken.
- Use mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack cheese instead of provolone.
- For a spicier version, add jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cheese and coconut cream.
Instructions
- 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). - 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 steak from the skillet.
In the same pan, add sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. - 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. - 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. - 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
For extra flavor, you can add garlic powder or a bit of hot sauce to the filling. These stuffed peppers are also perfect for meal prep, as they can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
