Main Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers (any color)
- 1 lb thinly sliced steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 6 oz provolone cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Prepare the peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the peppers aside to be stuffed later.
- Cook the steak and onions: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Stuff the peppers: Spoon the cooked steak and onion mixture evenly into each bell pepper, filling them generously but not overstuffed.
- Top with cheese: Place slices of provolone cheese over the stuffed peppers to cover the top completely.
- Bake until cheese melts: Arrange the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the peppers are tender but still hold their shape.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly Philly cheesesteak peppers warm as a hearty lunch or dinner.
Notes
- You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar cheese if preferred.
- For extra flavor, season the steak with garlic powder or smoked paprika before cooking.
- If you prefer softer peppers, you can parboil them for 3-4 minutes before stuffing.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
