Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Pepper
These simple Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers are perfect for a low carb, busy night. We like to make these with any variety of bell peppers. Flank steak is usually an inexpensive option for beef, if you prefer, you can use ground beef in place of the flank steak.
How to make Philly Cheesesteak Peppers
This recipe is perfect for a beginner cook or even an expert. To make this recipe, start by prepping the peppers. Slice to top and stem off of the peppers, remove any seeds and ribs from the inside of the peppers.
Slice the flank steak into bite sized pieces. Cook the flank steak in a large pan over medium high heat with olive oil for 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Remove the steak from the pan to a clean dish.
Place the sliced onion and mushrooms in the same pan and cook until they are soft and the onion is translucent. This should only take another 3-4 minutes of cooking time.
Add the steak back into the pan with the onion and mushrooms and season.
Fill your cleaned out peppers to the top with the beef, onions and mushrooms. Pile pieces of Provolone cheese on top of the peppers.
I found that it was best to tear the cheese into pieces and place them on top of the meat and pepper. If you place the whole piece of cheese on top with it sticking out over the edges, the cheese will just melt and fall onto the pan.
Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly, golden and melted and the pepper is soft.

Tips for making Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
