Make this easy Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers recipe for a satisfying, low-carb dinner that tastes like the classic sandwich. This recipe uses tender steak, onions, and melted provolone cheese baked inside bell peppers, perfect for quick family meals and low carb meal prep ideas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (optional, for creaminess)
  • 8 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Place the pepper halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the inside of each pepper half lightly with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the dish to help steam the peppers.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain off any excess liquid.
  4. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms (if using) to the skillet with the steak. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano into the steak mixture. If you are using cream cheese, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and combined.
  6. Spoon the cheesesteak filling evenly into the bell pepper halves. Mound the mixture slightly.
  7. Top each stuffed pepper generously with slices or shreds of provolone cheese.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a breadless cheesesteak alternative.

Notes

  • For an authentic cheesesteak flavor, use thinly sliced ribeye steak.
  • If you prefer a sharper cheese flavor, substitute provolone with a mix of provolone and a small amount of white cheddar.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and fits well into keto stuffed peppers plans.
